Reflecting on the connection between the rise in chronic
immune disorders and toxic environmental and lifestyle patterns,
herbalist and acupuncturist Jason Elias and collaborator Katherine
Ketcham looked to the 5,000-year-old The Yellow Emperor's Classic
of Medicine to seek clues for restoring the balance of body and
mind.
In Chinese Medicine for Maximum Immunity, Elias and Ketcham show
how to use the preventive strategies and gentle, supportive
remedies of traditional Chinese medicine to heal contemporary
chronic illnesses and bolster immunity. The book teaches readers
how to identify which element--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and
Water--most directly influences them and how to correct imbalances
that can lead to particular physical, emotional, and spiritual
disorders with step-by-step instruction for using stress-reduction
techniques, diet and exercise, herbs, and acupressure.
