Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Natural Health, Natural Medicine
Andrew Weil · 1995
82/100
👍 Worth It
Andrew Weil was writing about preventive health and integrative medicine before it was fashionable, and Kirkus calling this one of the best in its field is not a small thing. The range here — diet, exercise, home remedies, specific ailments — makes it a genuinely useful household reference, and Weil's Harvard medical background keeps the advice grounded enough to be taken seriously. The 1995 revision means some specifics may be dated, so treat it as a thoughtful guide rather than a clinical protocol.
