Now in its expanded, updated revised edition, this is the original classic text (with more than 5-million copies sold) that helped create the natural foods industry. Jethro Kloss was continually striving to make available a large amount of practical knowledge that would help others to achieve and maintain healthful and productive lives. This book is one of the major texts on herbs, natural diet and lifestyle and wholistic health.

A number of vital topics (such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc), which were mentioned only briefly in the early work, have been substantially expanded, and many the timely topics have been incorporated. In addition, this revised text has new illustrations and photographs, new charts, new appendix and glossaries, and a new comprehensive index.

The following topics are covered in the book:

• Natural Health
• Herbs for Healthful Living
• Treating Diseases with Herbs
• Your Body and Its Needs
• Food Preparation
• Effects of Polluted and Adulterated Foods on the Body
• Water and Good Health
• Skills in Caring for the Sick
