The One-Minute (or So) Healer: More Wisdom from the Sages, the Rosemarys, and the Times [Paperback]

Dana Ullman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2000

Over 500 specific one-minute (or so) strategies to initiate healing of 31 common ailments are provided in this practical and light-hearted book. Spiked with humor, puns, cartoons, and lots of practical advice, this user-friendly book makes healing fun. The one-minute strategies described have been culled from both Eastern and Western cultures and from ancient and modern traditions. Some strategies are part of folk medicine, some are a part of the cutting edge of contemporary medicine, and many will become an integral part of 21st-century medicine. Readers are taught specific applications of nutrition, nutritional supplements, herbal medicines, homeopathic medicines, massage, hypnosis, public health, stress management, and common and uncommon sense.

Becoming a healer in one minute is really no big deal. We've actually been working at healing longer than we think. Thousands of years of survival training have been built into our genes. From the moment of conception up to this very instant, every cell of our bodies has actively and continually defended itself against microbes, environmental assaults, and all types of stress. Perhaps most wonderful of all, our bodies have defended ourselves against the ravages we have inflicted on it. This book provides specific strategies for giving the inner doctor within us the useful tools to initiate healing.

This review is from: The One-Minute (or So) Healer: More Wisdom from the Sages, the Rosemarys, and the Times (Paperback)

The book was pretty interesting, but the title was a littlemisleading. Even with the "or so" added to the title, onemight think of a book of pressure points, herbal remidies, and other alternative methods of healing. Must of the book is planning what you eat, and keeping diaries of what's going on, all long term things. The books does have a few things, but they are not nessarily completely developed. In the pain chapter, it says to find "trigger points", explaining that they are sevsetive areas, and that's really it...

But htough it is week in some areas it is helpful, even though slightly mislead.

This review is from: The One-Minute (or So) Healer: More Wisdom from the Sages, the Rosemarys, and the Times (Paperback)

THE ONE-MINUTE (OR SO) HEALER is a little book packed with big wisdom concerning natural remedies for a wide variety of common ailments. Thirty-one chapters on topics as diverse as acne, allergies, arthritis, constipation, coughs, depression, earaches, fatigue, influenza, insomnia, migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), sinusitis, tension headaches, and ulcers contain a multitude of short paragraphs packed with ideas for alleviating the problem at hand. This is the kind of book that I envision a new age mother giving to her children, to remind them to remember things like "eat the BRATY bunch (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast & yogurt) if you have diarrhea," and "relieve asthma by touching the pressure point in the web of your hand between your thumb and index finger."

If you are facing menopause and are concerned with finding good replacements for hormone replacement therapy, you'll find the twenty natural remedies suggested by Dana Ullman to be very timely advice. Bee pollen, the Bach walnut flower remedy, natural clothing, spirulina and chlorella, soy, black cohosh, and dong quai are just a few of the wonderful possibilities you can try.

Any time you find yourself wondering how to naturally alleviate a particular health issue, THE ONE-MINUTE (OR SO) HEALER will likely be the reference book you'll want to read first. Parents, health-care providers, and people who prefer to begin their health treatments with natural solutions will adore this book!
