Abstract:
"We are living longer than ever before. But our prolonged lives have come at a price: a rise in chronic diseases like digestive disorders, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, and cancer. These diseases pose a challenge to conventional medicine, which controls symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause. But there is a solution: naturopathy. In The Nature Cure, Dr. Michalsen shares the incredibly potential of naturopathy and shows how it has already been proven to help those living with chronic illness"-- Provided by publisher.
Sunlight. Forest bathing. Fasting. Cold-water baths. Bloodletting. Leeches. Cupping. These ways of healing have been practiced around the world for centuries. As a cardiologist, Dr. Andreas Michalsen was taught that these practices were medieval. But the more he researched, the more he was convinced by the power of natural medicine - naturopathy -- to heal the human body. The Nature Cure explains how and why naturopathy works. and how we can incorporate these methods into our everyday lives to trigger our body's self-healing mechanism.
