Description

While first aid books kits certainly abound in the home, school, and recreation centers, there are none based on naturopathic principles. This book begins with a brief introduction to naturopathic medicine -- nutritional, botanical, homeopathic, acupuncture and traditional Chinese practices -- and then applies these practices to common first aid situations, including Minor Cuts & Abrasions, Bruising, Injury to Nervous Tissue, Sprains & Strains, Minor Burns & Scolds, Insect Stings, Nervous Upset, Morning Sickness, Muscle Cramps, Headaches, and more. The book also features advice on when to consult a doctor and how to assemble your own naturopathic first aid kit, including sources of supply and the approximate cost of remedies. Several specialized kits are described -- for example, first aid kits for the cottage and the car, for the minor sports coach and the school teacher. Published in cooperation with the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
