Ancient healing wisdom for today, December 14, 2003
This review is from: Ancient Roots, Many Branches (Paperback)
This is a thorough investigation of the origins of healing amongst peoples and cultures from around the world. The author discusses how people have dealt with illness down the ages, by developing treatments offered by their environment. This includes the use of nutritional remedies, herbs and other modalities like acupressure and acupuncture.
One characteristic of these healing techniques is their holistic approach, where the whole person is treated in order to address the patterns that manifest in a particular disease state. Many remedies for acute and chronic conditions are provided. This excellent book bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern medicine, rescuing time-tested treatments from obscurity and applying them to our times.
These ancient techniques are mostly based on the principle of vibrational medicine, just like homeopathy and Dr. Bach's flower remedies. I therefore also recommend Gerber's excellent book Vibrational Medicine for a more thorough scientific analysis of how and why this system works. Ancient Roots, Many Branches is a valuable book for those who wish to take responsibility for their own health.
