Sale! The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness

★★★★★ "Go-To" Graduation Gift for HS Grads. As a mom and a retired health teacher, I understand the importance of sending our young adults to college with the tools that they need to both survive and thrive. Dr. Jill Grimes' "College Student Health Handbook" is definitely a much-needed tool for them to have packed in their bags as they fly out of the nest and has become a "go-to" graduation gift for the high school grads in our circle.This resource is organized by parts or areas of the body and covers everything from ingrown toenails to sinus infections to "margarita" dermatitis (which I had never heard of and may have suffered from at some point in time!). Dr. Grimes also covers topics that a young person may not feel comfortable asking about, like using stimulants to smoking or vaping to UTIs and STIs, as well as the scary topics like alcohol poisoning, date rape, and sexual assault. Each section gives background information, treatment options, prevention, and tips. Since this resource is written by an actual doctor, it is a reliable source versus the internet or peer talk.One of my favorite parts of the book is the Bonus Section: DIY First Aid Kit. Making a basic first aid kit, or med kit (as shown in the picture) for each of our graduates, decorated in their future college colors, accompanied by the "College Student Health Handbook," has become a unique gift idea and totally appreciated by the recipients! Pick and choose from the list given to start the kit and then each graduate/family/mom! can add what works best for them. One of the first ones I made was for our son, and when we moved him home from school, there was his first aid kit, pilfered and well-used, but still intact and ready to be refilled for the next year.I can't say enough about the value and importance of this handbook. Don't wait to order a copy or copies for the young people in your life! It is a great resource and highly recommended!

★★★★★ The PERFECT College Student gift. What a FABULOUS book Dr. Jill Grimes has written! It truly is the ULTIMATE health handbook for everyone! Having spent over 50 years surrounded in the medical and alternative health fields, I was VERY IMPRESSED by the amount of well‑researched, up‑to‑date health information presented in such an accessible and FUN way. I wish this resource had been available years ago—it would have saved us countless worries and unnecessary trips to the University Health Center waiting long hours to see a doc!!! Dr. Grimes has created a guide that eases the minds of students, parents, and even grandparents. CONGRATULATIONS, Dr. Jill!

★★★★★ Excellent resource. This is the perfect gift for a high school graduation! I spent hours reading reviews of graduation type books & none were quite right. This one is full of up to date information, easy to understand, meets kids where they are. I gave the earlier edition as a gift last year & asked the student if she found it useful. She said she used it to look things up as needed but also just read sections she found interesting. This year I bought several as my go-to gift. It includes suggested ingredients for a first aid kit that can be paired as a bigger gift. I bought a tool box & filled it up with the items Dr. Grimes recommends. No matter how savvy kids are, the transition to independence can challenge them. This book will help guide them.
