Donna Pepperdine;  Robert Lebling

Robert Lebling and Donna Pepperdine have completed a rigorous study of the health remedies traditionally recognised across Arabia - an ambitious project executed with conscientious attention to detail.

The result is an impressive body of research, combining a thorough text with good pictorial coverage - a unique approach to a subject that will be of widespread interest.

This timely volume comes just as the age-old regional knowledge of the remedies naturally available - encapsulated in an oral tradition that carries hundreds of years of empirical knowledge - is being allowed to drift from contemporary consciousness, replaced by a new blind faith in the remedies widely promoted by the major pharmaceutical companies.
