In recellt years, Westerners have been in-

creasingly aware that conventional medical

procedures including surgery and drug

therapiesImay not be the only, nor even the

best, solution to many of our medical problems.

Nontraditional therapies that complement

established procedures--including acupunc-

ture, acupressure, reflexology, vitamin therapy,

herbology, aroma and color therapies,

homeopathy and applied nutrition have

gained acceptance by many medical

professionals, several of whom have written

books in their particular field.

Never before, however, has one book covered

the range of treatment options and evaluated

their effectiveness fi~r each individual medical

problem. And never before has this been done

by professional medical practitioners who

apply these therapies daily.

Tile Manual of Natural Therapy is a systematic

catalog of diseases, symptoms and problems

divided according to the body systems they

affect; for each disorder, a concise analysis is

given, as well as a discussion of the

appropriateness and effectiveness of com-

plementary treatment options. Rather than

theorizing about a single treatment type, or

overwhelming readers with extraneous con-

siderations, this volume brings together the

most practical therapies for immediate use.
