Herbal Medicine and the Revival of African Civilization By Anselm Adodo
The aim of this book is to show that Herbal medicine is a key part of African civilization and is necessary to the economic, social and cultural recovery of Africa…. For every sickness, there is a plant somewhere in the garden to cure it. Somewhere in the African garden is a plant for the cure of cancer. Somewhere in the African garden is a plant for the cure of diabetes, or hypertension, or malaria. Medicine, whether orthodox or alternative, started in the bush. Many human beings came from plant sources. And I believe that the best is yet to come. Right there in the African bush, the dead bone shall rise, men and women of wisdom, of vision, and of knowledge shall rise and change the face of the earth. …Civilization started in Africa. Africa is the home of humanity. Africa is not the third world. Africa is the first world.

Nature Cure for Common Diseases By Vithaldas Modi
Naturopathy is a system of therapy and treatment which relies exclusively on natural remedies, such as sunlight, air, water, supplemented with diet and therapies such as massage. Naturopathy is based on the belief that the body is self-healing. The body will repair itself and recover from illness spontaneously if it is in a healthy environment. Naturopathy, sometimes referred to as "natural medicine," is a largely pseudoscientific approach said to "assist nature", "support the body's own innate capacity to achieve optimal health", and "facilitate the body's inherent healing mechanisms." Naturopaths assert that diseases are the body's effort to purify itself, and that cures result from increasing the patient's "vital force." They claim to stimulate the body's natural healing processes by ridding it of waste products and "toxins."
This book has been structured for quick and handy references for every family and provides naturopathic cures for nearly all-common diseases, both acute and chronic, such as Constipation, Piles, Diabetes, Hernia, Asthma, Diabetes, Anemia, Blood pressure etc. It also contains a concise introduction to the basis of naturopathic system.

Speaking Of High Blood Pressure By Hanns P. Wolff
High blood pressure means the heart is pumping harder to move blood through the body. This can weaken blood vessels and damage major organs, such as the brain. Left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to stroke.
Blood pressure, like a person's heart rate, will vary occasionally with exercise or stress. For people over age 18, an optimal blood pressure reading is considered 120/80 or lower. A blood pressure reading consistently higher than 120/80 is considered "pre-hypertension." High blood pressure or “stage one hypertension” is a measurement of 140/90 or higher. People who have high blood pressure have one and a half times the risk of having a stroke compared to those who consistently have optimal blood pressure of 120/80. Anyone who has had a previous heart attack, stroke, is diabetic, has kidney disease, high cholesterol or is overweight should speak with a doctor about aggressively controlling and lowering blood pressure. Maintaining a blood pressure reading below 140/90 may reduce the risk of further complications.

The labelling of chronic diseases as “diseases of affluence” is no longer valid as they also appear in poorer countries. Paradoxically, it is occurring at a faster rate in developing countries than it did in the industrialized regions of the world half a century ago. This book is based on a field work carried out in a semi-urban area of mid-west Nigeria. The author observed that ignorance and lack of proper health information are substantial impediments to good dietary habits in Africa, not just lack of money. This research work is of utmost importance as a reference for researchers, students, and health scientists.
