This four-volume encyclopedia provides general audiences with information on complementary therapies, herbs and remedies, and common medical diseases and conditions with alphabetized entries from "abcess" to "zone diet." The encyclopedia's 800 articles avoid medical jargon and follow standardized formats with articles on therapies including sections on origins, benefits, description, preparations, precautions, side effects, research and general acceptance, resources, and key terms; articles on herbs and remedies including sections on general use, preparations, precautions, side effects, interactions, resources, and key terms; and articles on diseases and conditions including sections on definition, description, causes and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, allopathic treatment, expected results, prevention, resources, and key terms. Occasional sidebars contain biographical profiles of prominent alternative medicine figures. Articles were reviewed by medical and alternative healthcare experts, but readers are still advised to consult with their own doctors. The final volume includes a glossary, a list of organizations with contact information, and a general index. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
