French term or phrase: Ces pollens qui nous soignent
Title of a book about the preventative and curative properties of bee pollen;
I had thought "The Healing Powers of Pollen", but that assumes that you are already sick, and one of the main reasons for eating bee pollen regularly is to keep yourself healthy.
The book does have some serious medical discussion in it, but is intended to appeal to a wide audience, and to help sales of bee pollen.

What about swapping "Healing" for "Beneficial"?


Explanation:
It might be a useful way to avoid the inference that the book would only be for those with an illness or medical complaint.

HTH.
Sara.

The Healing Powers of Bee Pollen


Explanation:
Mark,
I agree with what you say but the problem is that the French says what you translated. So unless you can convince the authors to change the French, I think you've got it, by jove...after all, soigner is to heal, right?
