This two-volume set includes "Traditional Remedies" and "Traditional Household Hints and Tips". At at time when more and more people are turning to natural solutions, the books offer a wealth of recipes which make the most of ingredients found in your home, your garden and the countryside around you. One book covers everything you need to know to deal with aches and pains and common ailments; the second is a compendium of the kind of knowledge all housewives possessed when they ran their homes without chemical products, from pot pourris to stain removers.
