Publisher's Synopsis
Asthma has been called "the 20th-century plague" and certainly many more people suffer from it today than did 50 years ago. Allergies, too, are on the rise, with environmental pollution and an ever-growing daily exposure to chemicals being blamed as the main culprits for their increase. This guide looks at various conditions that come under the allergy "umbrella". With simple solutions to alleviate symptoms, and an overview of the enormous range of alternative and conventional treatments to try - including aromatherapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine and many others - it provides a wealth of information for asthma and allergy sufferers. Designed with clear, jargon-free text, this should be a useful one-stop sourcebook for all those who suffer from asthma or allergies.
