Natural Healing Wisdom & Know How: Useful Practices, Recipes, and Formulas for a Lifetime of Health

I have two of these books. More information than you can even contain. So many ways that we can heal ourselves in this has EVERYTHING! I love this book.

My mother is a great enthusiast of all things natural healing, and may I also note, not always the most gracious when receiving gifts. So as a Christmas gift, it was a gamble to hand over this gigantic (about 12"x18", give or take) and slightly clumsy book on all things natural healing, especially for my guest who flew to visit me and who always travels almost comedically light. Home run! The moment I knew it for certain was when she informed me that she has often thought of which five books she'd bring into the woods with her if she had to flee the zombie apocalypse, and that "Natural Healing Wisdom and Know-How" had just bumped one of her other books off the list. (Might I also suggest "Survival Wisdom and Know-How" for such a need)Despite its being 'gigantic and slightly clumsy' (think reading the newspaper rather than a novel) it is an absolutely worthwhile investment as it is about as comprehensive as you can get without buying books on each individual topic. And the range of topics is spectacular. From herbalism to sound therapy, NHW&KH tackles forms of non-westernized treatment and medicine that I didn't even know existed. The only complaint/suggestion I would make is to find some homemade way to tab some basics you'll reference often, such as recipes. Try as we might, we had a terrible time finding the base recipes referenced in several portions of the book. No trouble finding the alterations, but the starting point was tricky. At any rate, EXCELLENT book. And go for the hard copy, not the Kindle edition. The cover/overall physicality of the book is beautiful. The pages have a sort of 'newspaper' feel and weight.

I love this book. I dont think I can really express how useful this book is. It has such an amazing range of information on all types of healing modalities. I got this book because I was interested in all the different healing modalities that it covers but I didn't want to spend the time researching about each one. I found this book to be very convenient for a reference and to judge whether or not I am interested in a particular healing modality. It provides way enough info on each subject to practice it yourself. This book is descriptive and has many diagrams and black and white pictures to help you understand. Basically someone did the research on all these subjects for you and just compiled it together. Just the natropathy section ware it goes over basic home remedies from acne, boils,and broken bones to trauma, sunburn, and teething is worth getting this book. Be aware that it is huge. It is about 14 inches tall by 10 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick printed in very small print on newsprint paper, but still very good quality book. The info in it is WELL worth the 20 bucks.

Very comprehensive resource. This is a large format soft cover book. The price is very reasonable for the amount of information.I can see where they saved some funds in the printing and paper costs. If there is any rag on the book it would be on the quality of the paper and the printing. Yet, if that were normal quality, then I'm certain the price would reflect that too.Add to these large pages the small font and make sure you have your reading glasses ready and possibly a stand to open onto. As an aging male I seem to be drawn to searching for healthy living solutions. This is an excellent resource that I'm glad I got.Covers A - Z and then some including: Macrobiotics, Progressive Relaxation, Raw Foods Diets, Visualization, Herbal Fundamentals, Foundations of Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, and on and on. . . . .If you have any interest in your health (you'd better) get this resource.

My mother-in-law has a Masters in Naturopathic Medicine and has taken a ton of various natural health courses. She had never heard of this book, but liked what she saw after thumbing through it. It's a wonderful all-in-one reference book.For a beginner in natural healing like me, this book is invaluable. Natural healing can be so complex, but this encyclopedia really helps break it down, both by symptom and by modality. It has an extensive symptomatic index in the beginning so you can quickly search for, say, treating a soar throat or dealing with grief or insomnia. It will also help you decide which modality is right for you and help you know what else to invest in (i.e. herbs vs. essential oils)If you're looking to start healing naturally rather than relying on going to the doctor and popping pills, or want to expand your knowledge on the subject, this is where to start.

I love that there are so many things in this book. I like the indices that let you look according to symptoms or item. However...if your eyes are not perfect, even with reading glasses this is a tough one to look at. Turn on the light and pull out a large magnifying glass.Plus...keep in mind, this is a large book...it takes up a lot of space...not even remotely a pocket item. So, it's super large and the print is super tiny. Other than that...I'd buy it or similar again.

I love my healing book comes in handy when I want to make my own natural concoction

I just got this in today earlier than expected and wrapped very professionally. I bought it used and the condition is very acceptable. I flipped through it just to take a look and it seems to have some wonderful natural healing advice so I am really looking forward to checking it out. The parts I skimmed over are very easily understood, the chapter listing is excellent and easy to follow. Basically, this huge book is easy easy easy! It would be a good addition to any collection for anyone who wants to use natural healing methods to enhance life and I am thrilled to have it!

This is a great book in terms of information but the print quality makes it almost impossible to read.The paper is really thin and dark, and the printing is deplorable. The letter are tiny and unclear.The original version of this book is really nice, the paper is thicker, and the book is larger in size. However this edition is cheap looking and almost impossible to read. Buy this book from a different seller, to avoid being disappointed.

I think everyone should have this book in their lives. It’s so informative and anyone can get something from it. The page numbers and directory to where things are are great and easy to follow. Lots of pages of information that will last a lifetime.

Nothing is like this book

This is a wonderful collection...epic actually! For anyone curious I’m going deeper into alternative medicine, ancient wisdom, natural remedy and self healing knowledge. With such a wide range of topics and five star contributing experts, I am excited to have this guide as a companion for study and reference for many years. :)

Good buy print smaller than expected and would be better if it had a A-Z of issues so that you can refer directly to one page for one thing
