Intro to Wholistic Healing

Good introduction to wholistic medicine. Covers a wide range of topics and summarizes the basic principles. Everytime I open a page, I learn something new and even if I re-read it, I always gain new insights. Very handy to bring around and makes an excellent gift for those who are interested in learning more of themselves and the mind-body connection.
