Alevtina Korzunova's new book is included in a series of books that acquaint readers with the amazing properties of healing plants and minerals. This book will focus on the use in alternative medicine, as well as the cosmetology of birch tar, clay, mud and shungite. The book is designed for a wide range of readers. In this book, I decided to summarize the useful information that was scrupulously collected by admirers of alternative medicine, who happily avoided a threat to life thanks to the timely use of the described drugs.
