Book Description
Seniors take more prescription and over-the-counter drugs than any other group. And more than any other group, seniors assume that pain is a natural part of aging -- now the experts at Prevention magazine prove that it is not. No other book focuses specifically on pain in the elderly. Offering all-natural remedies for more than 100 painful conditions, this reference also identifies the top 20 pains that plague seniors in particular. Any reader with pain problems -- and evidence suggests that over 90 percent of people over 60 have dealt with at least one of these 20 problems -- can easily find the remedy. In addition to this section, the book covers each ailment in three distinct ways: -- Immediate Relief: the first section in each chapter offers options on quick and effective relief-- More Lasting Relief: the chapter then discusses how to gain long-term, non-drug pain relief-- Pain Prevention: the end of the chapter shows how to prevent -- even remove -- pain
