Book Review: 1001 Home Remedies and Natural Cures

1001 Home Remedies and Natural Cures by Esme Floyd. As the title of the book implies it is a natural and readily available at home for simple remedies and cures. Esme Floyd is known for her works on 1001s. She is also the author of 1001 Beauty Miracles, 1001 Little Health Miracles and others. 
This book is a collection of some of the things we already know on the remedies and cures for simple ailments, burns, cuts and others that are readily available in our homes, can grown in our gardens or found in the supermarket. The chapters are broken down into different areas of health issues with several tips and procedures on how to relieve each problems. It has widely covered the simple injuries such as burns and cuts, coughs, colds, skin problems, headache, PMS, personal care, immune boosters and even fertility enhancers! What do you know?

Although some are not surprising anymore as they have been published in different magazines, websites and lifestyle shows, this is a good book that would come very handy when you forget those drug-free reliefs from different medical complaints. The book is backed with medical research and proven homeopathy remedies but has provided a disclaimer on the advice that caution should be taken when pregnant, taking medications or with sensitive skin and other allergies. It doesn't in any way recommend to use it as a substitute for serious conditions. Makes sense that's why I double check each herbs on the web for any contraindications.

At SGD27.95 I find it expensive since the US price is just $13. But, I cannot not buy this as I find it both fun to read with the illustrations and great thing to have in your kitchen.
