Synopsis:

At present there is increasing dissatisfaction with many aspects of orthodox medicine. While many doctors try to treat specific symptoms and frequently prescribe expensive drugs with unfortunate side effects, natural healing therapists are more inclined to consider the whole person, both mentally and physically, in eliminating disease. As a result the general public is becoming more interested in alternative healing therapies. Among the best known are acupuncture, chiropractic, herbalism, homeopathy, naturopathy and lymphotherapy but there are many other techniques and approaches that can also be considered. THE HEALING POWER is one of the first books to contain such a broad analysis of the whole field and also includes interviews with a wide range of practitioners from several countries. Detailed resource listings for the therapies are also provided, as well as fifty helpful entries for general background information. (Synopsis from back cover.)

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
