1990 | The Doctors Book of Home Remedies | Prevention Magazine | 22nd Printing Hardcover
This is one of those old-school reference books that makes you want to keep it within reach just to see what it says about absolutely everything.
The Doctors Book of Home Remedies was created by the editors of Prevention Magazine Health Books and pulls together 2,343 home-remedy tips from 537 doctors and other professionals, covering 138 common conditions and everyday health concerns. Rather than focusing on one subject, it works almost like an A-to-Z household health encyclopedia, with sections on everything from acne, allergies, headaches and heartburn to insomnia, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, sore throats, stress, sunburn, digestive complaints, skin concerns and much more.
At more than 600 pages, this is a substantial hardcover reference book and such a fun snapshot of mainstream health and self-care advice from the early 1990s. It is especially interesting for anyone who loves vintage wellness books, natural-living references, old medical guides or simply comparing how everyday health advice has changed over the decades.
Published by Rodale Press in 1990 and distributed in the book trade by St. Martin’s Press. This copy is the 22nd hardcover printing, based on the number line beginning with 22.
