Get the how, when, and why of getting better and staying well with
homemade remedies that the doctor orders.
National Geographic helps you take charge of health care guided by a
physician expert in natural healing, herbal medicine, and home remedies.
Never have we needed this advice more than now, as worries about
hospital-borne infections, antibiotic resistance, and pandemic threats
make us yearn for the days of doctor home visits and mother's chicken
soup. We need to rediscover the special care and comfort that comes from
caring for health at home, says Dr. Low Dog. In this book she guides us
in identifying, responding to, and caring for all the most common
ailments, so that when it's time to take care at home, you have a
doctor's advice on how. Learn how to make herbal remedies and why you
and your family will be healthier for doing so--and get advice on when
it's best to consult a health care professional instead.
