Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Dr. Michael Peters Publisher: Dorling Kindersley Edition: 2nd ISBN: 978-0-7566-5188-6 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 196 Description: Dr Peters has written a very useful, extensive home medical reference that contains a wealth of practical, easy-to-follow advice. Each condition is introduced with a short description, and circumstances under which one should consult a doctor immediately are conveniently placed first. For illnesses that can be safely treated at home, effective nonprescription treatments are recommended, as well as non-drug treatments such as peppermint oil for irritable bowel syndrome, feverfew to prevent migraines, and relaxation exercises for stress. The major strength of this book lies in the hundreds of practical tips and techniques for treating – and preventing – common symptoms and illnesses. The illustrations are an excellent complement to the text and are very helpful for demonstrating, for example, the technique for steam inhalation, how to stop a nosebleed, or how to get out of bed when one has back pain. The techniques for calming a baby with sleep problems or colic will be quite valuable to new parents. First aid is also covered, and a glossary of nonprescription treatments mentioned in the book is included.
