Self-help book for better sleep
Health and good sleep go hand in hand. No wonder – we spend a third of our day sleeping! Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Li Wu explains how best to counteract sleep disorders and their resulting symptoms in his guide “Healthy Sleep with TCM” .
The holistic healing method can prevent health consequences for all sleep problems such as high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, cardiac arrhythmias, burnout syndrome and depression. TCM expert Li Wu gives nutritional tips and lists numerous herbal recipes, recommends acupressure and healing massages. The audio CD of the same name also enables a relaxing meditation journey.
Self-help through gentle movements with Tai Chi & Qi Gong
Tai Chi and Qi Gong can also promote greater mobility and a better quality of life. Barbara Reik, a self-employed Tai Chi teacher and experienced wellness trainer, has written several self-help books on the subject: "Tai Chi for Children" , "Tai Chi and Qi Gong during Pregnancy" and "Tai Chi for in-between times" .
Especially for children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people who spend many hours at work every day and who mainly sit or only move on one side in their everyday lives, the gentle movements lead to greater well-being and inner peace.
Why the sun is so important for our health
The sun has many positive effects on the human organism. Unfortunately, the fear of skin cancer has prevented us from dealing with the life-giving UV light that is so important for our health. In his successful self-help books "Cancer cells don't like the sun" and "Vitamin D - The sun hormone", the preventive medicine specialist and vitamin D expert Prof. Dr. med. Jörg Spitz dispels prejudices and advocates a natural, health-conscious relationship with sunlight, which is so important for the production of vitamin D, among other things.
Vitamin D reduces the risk of cancer, prevents high blood pressure, protects against diabetes and strengthens the immune system. In his recommendations, he carefully and conscientiously weighs up how to compensate for vitamin D deficiency and ensure a healthy supply of the "sun hormone".
Green antibiotics – healing gifts from nature
Another gift from nature is herbal antibiotics. In contrast to chemical antibiotics, to which humans are increasingly developing resistance, these almost forgotten natural remedies are considered a gentle but effective alternative.
Dr. Eberhard J. Wormer, MD, in cooperation with one of the world's leading experts in applied plant medicine, Stephen Harrod Buhner, has produced a valuable guide in his self-help book "Green Antibiotics" . This book shows the full potential of natural antibiotics as well as the most important treatment options for the most common diseases (including gastrointestinal complaints, skin and fungal diseases).
