Health in Your Hands [RARE BOOKS]

Since ancient times both palmists and doctors have recognised a connection between our hands and our health. In this authoritatively researched book, Lori Reid draws upon her extensive knowledge of chirology (the study of hands) to show you how to gain a detailed picture of your state of health from the markings and physical characteristics of your hands.

Looking closely at such features as palm-lines, skin ridge-patterns, nails, skin colour, temperatúre and texture, you can begin to pick up clues about particular symptoms and susceptibilities - from psychological stresses and strains and nervous disorders to glandular imbalances, weaknesses in the reproductive or immune systems, and more chronic illnesses such as heart problems - so that preventative steps can be taken. Along with the diagnoses comes practical, reassuring advice; natural remedies are suggested as well as dietary supplements to counteract vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Including reflexology and hand-massage techniques and an A-Z of common ailments, and accompanied throughout by clear illustrations, here is a unique medical self-help book that will let you take your health very much into your own hands.

Lori Reid is a professional hand analyst who is regularly featured as an expert in her field on radio and television. She contributes to journals, newspapers and women's magazines and has written several books on hand analysis and personal development.
