The Essential Natural Health Bible: The Complete Guide
Alternative Medicine Holistic Health Herbalism Aromatherapy Natural Remedies Wellness & Lifestyle Mind-Body-Spirit Self-Help Health
The Essential Natural Health Bible by Australian aromatherapist Nerys Purchon is the 576-page, 2006 Hodder paperback that eco-conscious shoppers still hunt for on-line. Packed with hundreds of step-by-step photographs, charts and remedy recipes, it distils more than a dozen complementary modalities—aromatherapy, herbalism, homeopathy, flower essences, nutrition, detox protocols, acupressure, yoga and stress-management—into one easy-to-use home reference. Beginners love the quick-start “what oil for what ailment” tables, while seasoned DIY-ers value the precise dilution ratios, safety cautions and cross-referenced index that let them blend with confidence.
What keeps this title in demand fifteen-plus years after publication is its practical, science-respectful tone. Purchon explains the biochemical “why” behind each plant, then follows with kitchen-friendly preparations: think thyme-honey cough syrup, magnesium-rich bath salts, or a circulation-boosting rosemary scalp oil. The layout works as both a cover-to-cover course and a dip-in first-aid manual, making it ideal for young adults setting up their first apartment, parents looking for gentle paediatric alternatives, or professionals wanting a reputable client hand-out. Every remedy is graded for pregnancy, children and pets, so nothing is wasted.
This particular copy is in very good condition—clean, tight, unmarked pages, no ex-library stamps or dog-eared corners, only light shelf scuffing to the illustrated covers. It is ready to slip straight onto a bookshelf or into a backpack for camping trips and travels. With the ISBN 9780733621499 now long out of print, finding a well-preserved, affordable copy is becoming harder; grabbing one now means securing the definitive natural-health manual that publishers have yet to surpass.
