About This Book

Published by Reader’s Digest — one of the most trusted reference publishers of the twentieth century — this comprehensive family guide brings together the full landscape of alternative and complementary medicine in a single, authoritative volume. Written for the general reader, it explains each therapy in clear, accessible language, covering everything from acupuncture, homeopathy, and herbal medicine to chiropractic, naturopathy, reflexology, and many more.

Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, the guide addresses how each therapy works, what conditions it may help, and how to find qualified practitioners. It presents alternative approaches with genuine respect while also offering honest assessments of the evidence available at the time of publication — making it both a useful reference and a balanced introduction to the world of natural healing.

Published in 1992, this edition captures a pivotal moment when alternative medicine was moving into the mainstream — a fascinating snapshot of holistic health thinking at the cusp of a cultural shift.
