Product Description
While first aid books and kits certainly abound in homes, schools, 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, covering the following: 1. Minor Cuts & Abrasions, 2. Bruising, 3. Injury to Nervous Tissue, 4. Sprains & Strains, 5. Minor Burns & Scalds, 6. Insect Stings, 7. Nervous Upset, 8. Motion Sickness, 9. Muscle Cramps, and 10. Headaches. Readers are also offered advice on
- when to consult a doctor
- how to assemble a naturopathic first aid kit (including sources and cost)
- specialized naturopathic first-aid kits: for home, car, sports coaches and schoolteachers.
