For instance, Dr. Weill recommends utilizingfresh ginger and dried feverfew for arthritic patients plaquedby autoimmune problems and issues. In addition, he cites theuse of tumeric three times a day for arthritis. He would treatbee stings with tea tree oil.

Dr. Weil is your trusted expert on health

I first heard of Dr. Weil while watching a show on TV. His calming voice and interesting breathing techniques got my attention. I was interested in Yoga and could relate to the calming effects of a peaceful lifestyle. This book is a complement to all the great work Dr. Weil has done. I also recently purchased his CD called Sound Body,Sound Mind and play it often to recieve the benefits of deep relaxation, not to mention the healing effects. I used to drink Decaf coffee but still felt that it affeted my sleep. Dr. Weil had the answer! I started drinking a relaxing tea for improved sleep. I also take my vitamin C, cook with lots of garlic and take echinacea as advised. While no one could have all the ailments discussed - you will feel like an expert when a friend asks you for a solution to their problem. If you find even one solution to a need in your life - I think this book would be worth purchasing. Also look for Dr. Weil's Guide to Optimum Health - A complete course on how to feel better. ~The Rebecca Review
