Product Review
“If you take just a few suggestions from
Big Green Purse, you will be on your way to being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.”
—Laurie David, founder of StopGlobalWarming.org and a producer of
An Inconvenient Truth
Product Description
East meets West in this extraordinary guide to natural healing by a prominent doctor of Chinese medicine and the author of Secrets of Longevity.
Dr. Mao's philosophy is simple: We all have a built-in healing ability, so why not try to activate it with natural means before we resort to drugs and invasive procedures? For the common cold, why not exploit the power of garlic, ginger, and the herb astragalus instead of taking cold medicine that simply replaces symptoms with side effects? For insomnia, why not try to find a long-term solution through acupressure or feng shui instead of popping sleeping pills, which don't treat the source of the problem?
Chinese medicine sees well-being as a result of a balanced life, not just a healthy body. In Part One of
Secrets of Self-Healing, Dr. Mao explains that healing food and herbs, exercise, a positive emotional life, a suitable living environment, and spiritual growth are all essential to vitality and lasting health. Using examples of his own patients' experiences, he demonstrates:
- How negative emotions can make us ill
- How clutter in our homes can create imbalances in our bodies
- How Eastern and Western medicine can work together to fight cancer
Then, in Part Two, he reveals detailed home remedies for seventy common ailments, such as sore throat, allergies, high blood pressure, sunburn, insomnia, memory loss, and jet lag. Inspirational yet practical,
Secrets of Self-Healing will put readers on the path to a balanced and healthy life.
Reader Reviews
Having studied TCM and the energy movement arts for several years, I was so very glad to see it all integrated in one book....and by an author who lives, teaches, and practices these 'secrets'. How fortunate he is sharing them with us.
