ALAN HAYES

Whether you need advice on how to remove a stain, how to keep your home naturally cool on hot summer days, or if you are looking for a natural first aid solution, Alan Hayes has the answer.

Alan Hayes, who was awarded the Order of Australia medal for his service to the community and to the environment as an author, has pursued his interest in herbal lore and natural alternatives for many years. He has created a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle on a small farm in a beautiful rural valley behind the Central Coast of NSW, Australia. His home is carbon-neutral and he lives the lifestyle that he encourages other people to do.

Alan has written 26 books on herbs, health and natural alternatives, and his wide range of best selling books shares his down-to-earth and practical knowledge about natural living. His column It’s So Natural is published in newspapers and magazines Australia wide, and is also published internationally throughout New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and the United States of America. He encourages people to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle through television, radio and public appearances and is now recognised as Australasia’s best-known exponent of the natural life and the guru of herbal lore.

In his latest book Alan has produced the ultimate guide to living the healthy and natural way. The It’s So Natural Household Companion is about keeping our planet clean and free of chemicals. It is a voice calling for a more sustainable life that will lead to a healthier world, guaranteeing future generations the same joy and beauty that we have been able to experience.

The It’s So Natural Household Companion offers an A to Z guide on solutions that are friendly to the environment and to your pocket. From a remedy for aches and pains to a solution for stuck zippers, this book is a useful addition to the library of any household concerned about preserving our environment.

Alan has gathered and practised many of these great ideas over many years, inventing some of them in response to his needs and the household conundrums of others. Other solutions have been passed down through his family for generations and are sound herbal lore. “My zealousness for a natural lifestyle has quite often met with the label of eccentricity, but nowadays this lifestyle is much more acceptable and widely practised,” says Alan.

This book will give you a better understanding of how to live simply, and how to simply live.
