Very quick read. Obviously this isn't a guide on how to be a doctor. But there are some pretty cool tips in here. It's interesting comparing modern medicine & "ancient" medicine.

I'm very pleased with this book, I bought my copy years ago, and has helped me many times with bodily ailments or even pain relief through accupressure. A great way to learn about alternative techniques with detailed descriptions from all over the world

Great for getting more natural healing practices and less unnecessary pharmaceutical assistance. Fantastic for a handy reference guide before taking an aspirin.

[Phil Calandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Ancient Healing Secrets" is an interesting guide which outlines various cures and therapies for a variety of health problems. "Ancient Healing Secrets" includes in these remedies the use of water, the use of plants and herbs, finger pressure therapies, body mind medicine and other modalities. This is an excellent resource book which I would recommend.

The book would have been more helpful if the needed supplies were more easily obtained. A lot of the secrets of the book are just using common sense or remedies most people already know. I did not gain to much knowledge from reading this.
