Customer Reviews:
the best book.......2000-07-29
Natural First Aid will help you to care for others with the natural remedies you have on hand. The key is to stay calm, move quickly, and know what to do. If you need to arm yourself with information for both emergency and non-emergency situations this is the book. After reading it I have come to the conclusion that it is one of those indispensable reference books everyone should have. It's definitely a book to have in the First Aid kit when camping. Brigitte Mars also tells us the most important items to stock in a natural first-aid kit for your car, backpack, and yes ladies even in your handbag.
Do you know that cayenne pepper can stop bleeding? Or that garlic can alleviate a toothache? Or that honey can soothe a burn?
I was impressed with NATURAL FIRST AID. It's easy to read and understand and there is nothing extreme about the natural remedies. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Customer Reviews:
a lovely little book .......2007-02-13
I can't imagine going wrong with any of Rosemary's books. I'm an aromatherapist and herbalist [...] and make all of my own products- and I have hundreds of books on herbs. This little book is a wonderful value for someone who would like to learn more about herbs and make their own herbal remedies. Her tea and tincture recipes are great. I prefer using essential oils to using infusions of herbs in the bath personally, but her formulas are very good- as always. If you want a more general book I would suggest her Family Herbal- which is really a wonderful, simple, treasure of a book for herbalists of all levels!

Scientific, Fact-Filled Alternative Medicine Handbook.......2004-02-20
This is one large book (870 pages!), filled with massive amounts of information regarding vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutrients, and their effect on various diseases. Keep in mind this is a reference guide, primarily for clinicians, so it is not a book one would read through cover-to-cover.
The first section consists of nutrients, listed in alphabetical order. After each nutrient Null lists different diseases that a particular nutrient treats, backed by summaries of various scientific studies. He also provides the references, so one can easily look up the studies for him or herself. The studies come directly from scientific journals. For instance, looking under Zinc, we find that Zinc is beneficial for acne, and Zinc Sulfate and Vitamin A "significantly reduced" the number of papules, pustules, and infiltrates within 4 weeks. This is from a 1977 study found in "Arch Dermatol," i.e. the "Archives of Dermatology" journal.
The next four sections are: Herbal Superstars (well-known herbs), Additional Herbs, Therapeutic Amino Acids, and Essential Amino Acids. These are laid out just like the first section.
The next section consists of various fruits and vegetables and their phytochemical content. For instance, cabbage has over three pages worth of chemicals listed, from 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane to Zirconium (at anywhere from 1.4 to 203 ppm). Then Null lists each phytochemical alphabetically referenced to its therapeutic properties. Then he lists different herbal properties (such as "antiviral") followed by herbs that fall under that category.
Appendix A lists anti-aging nutrients (listed in the same manner as section one). Appendix B consists of recommended dosages of various nutrients and herbs. Finally appendix C consists of studies showing the potential misuse of supplements, and what overdoses might look like.
Overall, this book will be useful primarily to the clinician, but others may be interested as well. I am not a clinician, but interested in alternative medicine and the science behind it. No other health book has satisfied my interest as well as this book. My only complaint is that Null sometimes overlooks negative studies, but appendix C does remedy this to some degree.
Exceedingly useful reference.......1999-07-08
One of the problems in the natural medicines industry is the lack of peer reviewed, clinically proven information. The book is an excellent reference for anyone working in the natural medicines field. We find it especially useful in cutting down research time.

Book Description
One of America's foremost herbalists provides concise, simple-to-understand, and practical information for using herbs for health and well-being. Each book contains profiles of specific herbs, cautions, contraindications, and easy-to-make recipes to relieve common ailments.
Book Description
An in-depth explanation of an amazing healing system, with remedies for the practitioner.
Discovered by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s, the thirty-eight Bach Flower Remedies form a system of healing for the negative emotions and attitudes that can interfere with health and happiness.
This attractively illustrated book provides a detailed description of each remedy, together with case histories relating to each one to help the reader appreciate how they may be put into practice. The descriptions and cases have been compiled from the Bach Remedy Newsletter, originally edited by Nora Weeks, Dr Bach’s successor and close companion. In each issue she featured a remedy along with a collection of her own case notes, and because they represent such an authoritative text, Philip Chancellor, with her blessing has compiled them to create this book.
Customer Reviews:
One of the best Bach Flower; books, precise and concise........1999-10-22
Rudolph Ballantine, M.D., in his new book, Radical Healing (an outstanding work) states is well: "... this well-worn volume is still my favorite reference for the English essences. It accurately reflects the 'generic' nature of the Bach remedies, whose scope seems to be broader than the many more specific remedies now available." Personally, I love Chancellor's work and feel my health library is not complete without it. Chancellor uses language precisely and describes each remedy in concise detail.

Good Summary of How to Apply Herbal Remedies.......2001-05-08
Andrew Chevallier teaches herbal medicine at Middlesex University in the UK. With that background, you might expect this book to be technical and arcane. Instead, it is very simple, direct, and easy to follow. The book contains all of the information that most people will ever need in order to use herbal remedies. The auhor simply explains why herbs work (they often contain combinations of ingredients that medicine cannot match), how to choose which herbs to take, how to prepare the herbs, and a complete description of the therapeutic effects of 66 herbs.
I found the book very helpful, and it seems like I am destined to eat the dandelions that I pick from my yard. Having gallstones, I have been told there is nothing that can be done for them except have surgery. I don't think I want to do that, so I would like to try eating dandelion leaves instead. I doubt if it will hurt me, and if it helps with the gallstones that would be great!
I was also struck that in many other cases, recovery from the complex complaints of people I know seemed to be summarized in consumption of just one herb. It does make one wonder if dietary deficiencies are more important than we realize.
Another benefit from this book is that when someone tells you about the miraculous results they got from taking a certain herb, you will have an easy way to check out what they have said before trying it yourself. The book has many good warnings about the potential for herbs and medicines to be harmful in combination.
After you read this book, I suggest that you also think about how you could improve the mineral content of your body. Without all the minerals, you cannot use vitamins. Most mineral supplements are not well absorbed by the body. Look into getting some chelated minerals (these are better absorbed by the body) that you can take as a supplement.
Be open to all the ways to make your body healthier by considering what our ancestors have learned about the benefits of eating a broader range of plants.
