Reader's Digest International Magazine - August 2017

In this issue

In August, we celebrate nature: "Nature Cure" shows that the solution to many of our mental issues is to live near green spaces, even if we don’t actively use them. We have also a list of seven natural remedies that can help you with ailments like sleeplessness and rheumatoid arthritis. We get a lot from nature but we also want to give back. In “To Save a Whale" we show how people rescued a giant mammal washed up on a beach in British Columbia, Canada. And, if we want to get out of our busy lives and leave everything behind us, our recommendation is Chile’s Robinson Crusoe Island. Solitude guaranteed.
