"A fascinating book by a distinguished Vermont physician."--New York Daily News

Vermont folk medicine has much to give those who reject as inevitable the specter of physical impairment and weakness, and who prefer instead to plan to be strong and free from disease to the very end of their days.--Dr. D. C. Jarvis

For centuries, the vigorous and healthy families of Vermont have embraced the curative properties of folk medicine, which utilizes products from nature to alleviate and avoid disease. Fifth-generation Vermonter Dr. D. C. Jarvis spent years practicing medicine in the Green Mountains and observing the natural wonders of Vermont folk medicine.

In Folk Medicine, he explores the history of folk medicine and how simple, natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar and honey can help you:

- Improve sleep and overcome chronic fatigue
- Reduce high blood pressure
- Burn fat and reduce body weight
- Shrink varicose veins
- And more!

With Dr. Jarvis's thoughtful guidance, you will learn how you, too, can harness the natural secrets of folk medicine.
