Book Description
The most important message of this book is that most of what makes human beings ill is within their own power to control, and this is also true of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). In modern times, such things as improper eating habits, too much work, too little exercise, too much emotional upset, and not enough rest are at the core of most disease.
Therefore, while this book describes the many safe and effective therapies that Chinese medicine has for the treatment of IBS, it is mostly a book about self-care and strategies for people to control their symptoms on their own. It is a book that, using Chinese medical theories, empowers patients to prevent the pain and suffering of this common condition.
You can be healthy again!
