Alternative Health

New Zealand's favourite natural health expert Lani Lopez has been a practising naturopath for over 12 years, and has had regular spots on TV (Good Morning, TV One) and radio (ZB) answering people?s questions on the subject of supplements and helping steer a path through all the information we are bombarded with about what is good for us and what is not. Health is a major concern in today?s society, and increasingly we are looking to take responsibility for our own health. Every day we learn more and more about the chemical complexities of our bodies, and of the power of vitamins, minerals and herbs to help us heal, restore good health and maintain that well-being. However, when greeted with rows and rows of bottles on the shelves of supermarkets, pharmacies and health food stores, it is difficult to know what the best option for our health is. In Natural Health Lani helps bring greater understanding and empowers the reader to identify their condition or ailment and options open to them. Lani discusses the use of vitamins, minerals, herbs and lifestyle changes to complement traditional medicine. First published October 2004.
