50 THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO MANAGE ECZEMA
Reviewed by Samantha Cook
Web Site Manager
This is a really great little book. Taking into consideration the fact that it only has 140 pages, it is jam packed with tips, advice, useful websites and generally anything you could possibly need to know in order to manage your eczema.
The book is based on 50 different things a person can do to make living with their eczema easier. These 50 tips are then subdivided into 6 chapters. The first chapter explains what eczema is with subsequent chapters covering such areas as diet, emotions, home environment and alternative therapies.
The book is written in very straightforward English and doesn’t patronise the reader. The individual sections are kept short and to the point so that you don’t get bogged down in technical terms and medical language. Some of the pages have handy little suggestion boxes on them providing useful tips on a particular point. There are also some self-help techniques detailed throughout the book.
The last twenty pages are dedicated to a simple Jargon Buster section, a Useful Products section which also provides contact details for all the companies that are listed, a Helpful Books section and finally a Directory which lists useful websites that readers might like to look at.
This book is concise and to the point but still manages to provide a huge amount of information and I think would be useful to anybody who suffers from eczema or is the carer of an eczema sufferer. It is small enough to carry about, should you wish to.
Currently there are three other titles in the “50 Things You Can Do Today” series – Insomnia, Menopause and Migraines. I hope that before long the author will have written books on many more medical issues as I firmly believe these books could be invaluable to so many people with a variety of different problems.
