The Holistic Health Handbook, Berkeley Holistic Health Center 1978 First Edition

The Holistic Health Handbook was published in 1978 by the Berkeley Holistic Health Center and became a significant resource for those interested in alternative and integrative medicine. It reflects the growing movement of holistic health practices in the 1970s, focusing on self-care, preventive medicine, and natural healing approaches.

The book covers a broad range of topics, including nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, meditation, and bodywork therapies. It embodies the countercultural shift toward a more person-centered and preventative approach to healthcare, moving away from purely allopathic medicine.
