Prevention Magazine has collected home remedies from their readers and put them in dictionary form alphabetically by condition. There are also comments by health professionals when a certain condition could be caused by something serious and a doctor should be seen. I myself use home remedies all the time and have had some luck with them. It is always interesting to learn more that I might need to use some day. Some of the treatments can be thought of as beauty treatments, such as getting rid of wrinkles, varicose veins, and losing weight. ( )

A good broad-spectrum reference to have on hand for a non-practitioner. ( )
