treat a wide range of conditions. This practical handbook was written
for nurses and practitioners at the Ita Wegman Clinic in Arlesheim,
Switzerland, a center of expertise for anthroposophical nursing.
The book covers all aspects of compresses and poultices, including
descriptions of the substances used and their healing properties, and is
based on many years' professional experience.
