Oddball Ointments - Powerful Potions - Fabulous Folk Remedies That'll Cure Almost Anything that Ails Ya!: A Jerry Baker Health Book by Jean Karen Thomas
Over 350 Homemade Formulas: "Recipes for homemade tonics, salves, and poultices that can prevent, heal, and cure common health ailments are featured in this reference to folk medicines. Products in the kitchen cabinet, refrigerator, medicine chest, and garden can replace or supplement many expensive medicines through the innovative formulas detailed." - from the publisher
"For those disenchanted with over-the-counter and prescription drugs, this do-it-yourself manual offers over 1,000 tips for dealing with a range of ailments. From age spots, body odor, chronic fatigue, erectile dysfunction and hair loss to midlife crisis, pot bellies, sagging breasts, tick removal, yellowed teeth and zits, health writer Thomas, in collaboration with naturopathic physician Beth Wotton, tackles myriad health problems with natural remedies.
The introduction warns that the book shouldn’t replace a doctor’s expertise, but many entries complement recipes for salubrious herbal teas, for example, with common sense diet and exercise advice.
Suffering from insomnia? Try a catnip tea, block out night noises and wind down with a bedtime ritual. "Finding the Sahara where there used to be a sexy swamp?" asks the chapter on menopause. Consume soy products and red clover tea for their estrogenic effects.
Thomas takes an informal, sympathetic tone: exclamations of "yow!" and "aaarrrgghh!" pepper the book, which seems aimed at aging baby boomers encountering the afflictions of maturity. Devotees of homeopathic remedies will find a treasure trove of treatments here." - Publishers Weekly
