This book was my text book for my Naturopathy class. I found it to be very informative about pretty much any natural remedy or therapy out there. I've heard it referred to as the Naturopathy bible and I feel like that sums it up perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone interested in natural medicines ie. herbs and dietary supplements. It also goes through all of the systems of the body just like an anatomy text book would and explains all of the bodily processes in a very easy to understand language. I enjoyed the class and the book as a part of the class although I don't know that I would have the patience to read the book outside of school.It was definitely the most comprehensive book on alternative medicine I have read thus far. I also think that it would inspire anyone who read it to want to live a healthier life.It covered the material it was designed to wonderfully and for that I give the authors credit. I also think that this would be a good read for anyone in the medical field, seeing as complementary and alternative therapies are rapidly gaining popularity in this country.
