"Robert Lebling and Donna Pepperdine present the results of their comprehensive study of remedies for human ailments and disease which have been recognised across Arabia for centuries. It has been an ambitious project, executed with close attention to detail and devoted accuracy." "This impressive body of research and organisation combines a thorough text with good pictorial coverage in a work which will be of widespread value and interest." "A major section of this book is a list of recipes and health-giving Arabian dishes and beverages." "Natural Remedies of Arabia comes just in time. Regional knowledge of remedies and prophylactics naturally available is fast disappearing. Age-old oral tradition is being eclipsed by vigorously promoted and advertised manufactured pharmaceuticals." "Simultaneously, the sophisticated world is awakening to the all-too-frequent fallibility of modern medicine and, contrastingly, to the exceptional curative and preventative effectiveness of natural remedies. These are being turned to with increasing respect wherever that wisdom is still available." "The authors combine training and experience in herbalism and anthropology. Both have long and extensive knowledge of Arabia and neighbouring lands."
