Nat Hawes has spent 8 years researching and compiling this fascinating compendium of foods and their health-giving properties. Her sources range from scientific papers, libraries and university websites to extensive travel to research traditional approaches to healing — summarised in everyday language. She reviews both the health problems for which nutritional interventions are thought possible and the healing properties of the full spectrum of natural, non-processed foods and drinks. The book complements and is supported by Nat's internationally popular website www.naturecures.co.uk.
