Tomando como base el principio que rige la homeopatía: "lo similar se cura con lo similar", el doctor Wiesenauer, especialista en medicina general, homeopatía y medicinas naturales, presenta una selección de la gran variedad de remedios homeopáticos existentes. Los remedios se presentan ordenados según el campo de aplicación (desde los pies hasta la cabeza), explicando la limitación a las dolencias y trastornos que pueden ser tratados de forma efectiva con remedios homeopáticos. El lector también obtendrá información sobre la exacta dosificación de los remedios y sobre el contenido clásico de un botiquín casero. Un detallado registro, que explica la preparación de los diferentes remedios, pone punto final al libro.
Full of medical folklore and healing tales, Remedios presents the history of the many women--and cultures--who have met at the crossroads of the islands of Puerto Rico. Beginning with the First Mother in sub-Saharan Africa more than 200,000 years ago, Aurora Levins Morales takes readers on a journey through time and around the globe. We learn of Juana de Asbaje, author of the "Reply to Sor Filotea" in 1693, the first feminist essay written in the New World; Gracia Nasi, Constantinople's "Queen of the Jews"; the African-American activist and warrior of words Ida B. Wells; and the unlikely martyr and symbol, Ethel Rosenberg. Levins Morales weaves in her own story of pain and healing, ameliorated by the restorative power of memory, and bears witness to a larger history of resistance and abuse by women and men. This historical memoir revives our connection to the forgotten lore of our grandmothers, featuring explanations of the medicinal properties of herbs and and foods such as rosemary, ginkgo, and banana. With love, joy, and defiance, Levins Morales offers Remedios as testimony to those barely recorded or known to history, the women who shaped our world. Aurora Levins Morales is author of Medicine Stories: History, Culture, and the Politics of Integrity (South End Press, 1998) and Getting Home Alive (Firebrand, 1986). A Jewish "red diaper baby" from the mountains of Puerto Rico, Morales writes lucidly about the complexities of social identity. She teaches at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

En el siglo XIX, un joven y apuesto arquitecto español, viaja de España a un pueblo de Veracruz, para reclamar una propiedad de sus ancestros, pero se enamora de una hermosa lugareña, con la que vive un amor inconmensurable. El producto de su amor furtivo, fuera del matrimonio, es arrancado de los brazos de su madre con una deleznable mentira, para obsequiarlo a una yerbera llamada Manuela, y así esconder la deshonra de la familia, Un abominable crimen por el robo de unas perlas, y que nunca se esclarece sirve para descargar el odio del ofendido padre de la joven hacia el arquitecto; lo hace parecer culpable y lo encierran prisión bajo un nombre falso. El martirio por el que pasa en su encierro, la búsqueda incansable de su familia para dar con su paradero; su amada con el corazón de hecho que tampoco deja de buscarlos a él y a su hijo; la yerbera que descubre en su hijo adoptivo su extraordinario don, que utiliza en sus remedios con asombrosos resultados, y la llevan a la fama; el reencuentro del hijo con su madre; la amistad que surge entre ambas mujeres; llenan esta historia de aventuras, de misterio, de magia y de amor, con un final estremecedor.
