Publisher's Synopsis
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 and surgery. For the common cold, why not exploit the power of garlic, ginger and the herb astragalus instead of taking cold medicines 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 patient's 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 In part two, he reveals detailed home remedies for several common ailments, including sore throats, 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.
