Folk Medicine: Natural Remedies for Everyday Ills Book

A charming little book full of natural health secrets to prolong life and give vigour to young and old. Dr. D. C. Jarvis lived and practised among the hardy men and women of the Vermont mountains for over fifty years. This unique and remarkable book - which has sold over 500,000 copies in the Pan edition alone - is the result of his deep study of their way of life, and in particular of their approach to diet and time-honoured folk medicine. Using the simplest of ingredients, including honey, cider vinegar, kelp and iodine, it offers a novel theory on the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases and nagging complaints - The Common Cold; Hayfever; Arthritis; Kidney Trouble; Digestive Disorders; Weight Problems; High Blood Pressure; Chronic Fatigue - and many others, which often defy conventional diagnosis and treatment.
