The
book has been organized alphabetically, according to diseases.
As well, it has disease-wise and body system-wise indices, for
easy reference. Every disease has been dealt with using a uniform format
for better readability and quick reference. Each disease has a short
description followed by the Cause, Signs and Symptoms, Risk factors
and Caution and Recommendations to Therapists. The primary body system
affected by the disease has also been indicated. Space has been allocated
under each disease for recording individual observations and notes.
This space can also be utilized for noting other forms of treatment
for that particular disorder - such as Aromatherapy, Acupressure etc.,
that the Holistic Practitioner is familiar with.
