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.
