Synopsis

Does eating garlic protect you from various maladies? Does hair grow faster in warm weather? These and over 600 examples of medical folklore are confirmed or dispelled in this volume. If you want to find out the truth about whether people dream in colour, or if sitting in a draught can give you a cold then "Medical Folklore" will offer a theory. Written in an easily accessible alphabetical format, this book gives not only the old wives' tales related to each subject for which the author relays the often surprising medical truths, but also gives details of research carried out for each myth and their probable date and circumstance of origin.
