A good resource book for Acupressure, Aromatherapy and Herbal Therapy

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

Sai Ram. I am happy to share with you my review of a book, which I

feel will help those who can't or won't take allopathic medicine.

 

With best wishes,

Title: Do-It-Yourself Natural Health: Natural Health Trio

Sub-Title: Acupressure, Aromatherapy and Herbal Therapy

Author: John Sherman, Ph.D., OTR, CST

Publisher: New Found Therapies Publications

ISBN: 0-9709411-2-9

Genre: Non-Fiction/Alternative Medical/Self-Help

 

This book is the latest by the author who has authored several other

books on the subject over the last six years. It combines in one

handy volume, three alternative treatment options for 60 common

ailments and conditions. Acupressure, Aromatherapy and Herbal Therapy

are covered. The acupressure points are clearly explained by using

line drawings of the human body and indicating the points.

Precautions where applicable are also given.

 

The author explains that acupressure is meant for immediate relief

and is to be followed by aromatherapy and herbal therapy.

 

Depression is one of the sixty ailments covered but in my opinion,

depression is a major health disorder and is to be treated by a

competent health professional, not necessarily by a mainstream

psychiatrist. The author of course advises that all the treatments

should be undertaken only under the supervision of a physician.

 

The author rightly stresses the importance of correct breathing.

 

This book will be very useful to those who can't take allopathic

medicines because of the side effects or cost. A pocket reference

book dealing with 50 of the 60 ailments is available from the same

author and will be a very invaluable aid.
