The vast array of conditions covered includes: back pain, arthritis, jetlag, varicose veins, cancer, HIV, depression, stress and nasal allergies to name but a few.

The book also offers advice on diet and lifestyle.

All in all this book covers many topics, and has a good layout with many hand-drawn and photographic pictures.

Fairly general tips for a variety of conditions3
Has some nice hand drawn pictures tha are easy to follow.
Doesn't cover every medical conditionso you won't know if it will be of use to you until you buy it.
Would be a nice teaching reference aid perhap for a yoga teacher.
