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.

Summary: The Absolute Best Alternative Health Reference - And It Works!
Comment: The five-star reviews here say it all really along with the excellent detail page itself. I have one comment to add: if you only purchased this amazingly thorough reference to obtain the accurate accupressure points for countless ailments from which you or a loved one suffers - the book would pay for itself in no time flat. No book I have ever read provides these points that one can do at home watching TV, reading, writing (use the other hand!) as long as you are relaxed while doing so and of course, breathing! Absolutely a must-have for everyone who wants the shortest distance between two points.

Summary: Very good reference book.
Comment: I purchased this book after reading a review somewhere else. I thought it would be a book to sit down and read and then be able to make some healthy lifestyle decisions. However, much to my suprise, it is a very good reference book for natural means to cure what ails you. I have used this book quite a few times to give suggestions to others in my life and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a natural way to cure most common ailments.

Summary: Secrets of Self-Healing by Dr. Maoshing Ni
Comment: This large book was more pricey than i wanted to invest, but except for the front & back cover, was in new condition as if it had just come off of the shelf. Pages intact. I would recommend this seller, but Footnote to seller to STORE BOOKS BETTER so the covers stay unsmudged and in better condition. For this reason, i cannot give 5 stars.
I recommend this as there are many COMMON AILMENTS for everyday problems or aches that are in the book, so that means THIS BOOK IS A SOUND INVESTMENT FOR EVERYONE!
