"It is simple in its approach, and powerful in its effect--a diet of natural foods and the use of noninvasive home remedies, designed to eliminate disease symptoms and strengthen the body's own healing powers. In the past, these remedies were passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. Today, they are embodied by the macrobiotic movement. Macrobiotic Home Remedies is a comprehensive self-help guide to hundreds of effective natural healing methods that can be used alone or in conjunction with more standard remedies--methods that heal without drugs or invasive treatments. The book is divided into four sections. It begins by explaining the healing concepts of macrobiotics. Part Two then provides an A-to-Z reference to over two hundred common health disorders, with helpful suggestions for relief. Part Three details the numerous techniques and therapies suggested in Part Two. Part Four presents over two hundred healing recipes referred to throughout the book"--Publisher's description.
