Secrets Of Self Healing
Harness Nature’s Power to Heal Common Ailments,
Boost Your Vitality, and Achieve Optimum Wellness
By Dr. Mao Shing Ni
Publishing Date: December 27th 2007 Avery/
Penguin Group
In this landmark book on natural healing, Dr. Mao Shing Ni (a.k.a. Dr.
Mao) combines the wisdom of thousands of years of Eastern tradition with
the best of modern medicine and nutritional science. Ranging from
treating common ailments with healing foods and herbs to the all-round
balancing of mind and body that is essential for vitality, wellness, and
longevity,
Secrets of Self Healing will profoundly change how
readers look at their own health and well-being.
Dr. Mao Shing Ni is a 38th-generation doctor of Chinese medicine and an
authority in the field of Taoist anti-aging medicine. He is co-founder
of Yo San University in Los Angeles and in private practice at the Tao
of Wellness, where he directs the Longevity and Healthy Aging Program.
Dr. Mao has lectured internationally, appeared on television, and been
featured in the New York Times, the L.A. Times, and many other
publications.
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, simply replacing 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 root of the problem?
Mao argues that well-being is a result of a balanced life, not just a
healthy body. In the first part of
Secrets of Self Healing,
he explains that healing foods and herbs, exercise, self-awareness, a
positive emotional life, living in harmony with environment, and
spiritual growth are all crucial for vitality and long-term health.
Through stories of his own patients he shows, for example, how simple
self-assessments can help prevent disease, how negative emotions can
make us ill, how clutter in our homes can create imbalances in our
bodies, and how Eastern and Western medicine can work together to fight
cancer.
Then, in Part 2, he reveals his favorite natural remedies for over 65
common ailments. He shows how we can use diet, herbal, and
supplement therapies as well as exercise and acupressure to treat
conditions such as sore throat, dandruff, headaches, high blood
pressure, sunburn, insect bites, indigestion, and jet lag.
Inspirational yet practical,
Secrets of Self Healing will put
readers on the path to a balanced and healthy life.
