I also wrote a bit about how you could use it for beauty purposes, as has been done since ancient times and also for health. If you want to know more about the magic of pomegranates, Punica granatum –here is the link to the book: http://tinyurl.com/gvwn8w5 This book can be considered an extension of that particular book, especially when I was just going through some old herbal remedies and found pages and pages of ancient recipes, going back lots of ages in an old book called "Heal Thyself Through Thy Food." It was written by a physician in the 19th century, who was advocating natural food to help in the curing of ailments, as they had been done down the ages, and with the use of food and nothing else. And this book being an Eastern book had remedies about how fruit was used in ancient times to help in the curing of a number of problems and diseases of mankind. And then I found one fruit – the pomegranate, which was said to be the cure-all of all diseases, where natural remedies were right at hand. This book is going to tell you all about some of the common ailments, suffered by man, even today, when we should consider that the state-of-the-art medical technology should have cured many of these diseases and eliminated them from today's vocabulary of mankind. But, alas, that is not necessarily so. In the east, they have a saying – “one pomegranate, a 100 sick." It could either be that one pomegranate is enough to cure 100 people or also, in the case of the pomegranate’s known curative property to heal everything, supply is always going to be lesser than the demand! So sit back, relax, and browse through this book, which is going to tell you all about how 1 pomegranate can make all the difference between a healthy you and a sickly you. In ancient times, the wise healer/priest of the tribe, city, temple – especially in Babylon and Egypt – would always tell any person who was sick – get thee to thy abode and face the Sun God. After that, lift up a vessel full of pomegranate juice and taking his name, and asking him to bless you and give you good health, drink it down in one go.

This book investigates why the pomegranate deserves to be called the Ultimate Health Food and discusses how pomegranate can help. It also reveals the natural slimming properties of pomegranate and its beneficial effect on the appearance and elasticity of the skin.
