Product Details

Synopsis

Why use strong chemicals to treat minor ailments when there are safe, natural, and effective remedies that relieve everything from aching muscles to toothaches to zits?

Clean Cures is the new book in the successful Clean series—all written by cleaning expert Michael DeJong, beautifully packaged by visionary designer Joost Elffers, and espousing a green philosophy that offers substitutes for mass-produced products. DeJong bases his cures on just six essential elements, used alone or in combination: baking soda, honey, lemon, olive oil, salt, and apple cider vinegar. And with these simple, inexpensive, readily available ingredients, he concocts therapies for an A to Z of problems: aching joints, bad breath, colic, insect bites, nosebleeds, sinus headaches, warts, and much more. There’s even help for such nagging troubles as sleep disorders and panic attacks!

With solutions that are gentle on the body—and on the earth—this is the perfect little volume for anyone interested in alternative healing.
