Ancient Remedies for Modern Life

by Dr Josh Axe

The Secrets to Healing, Resilience and Immunity With the Most Powerful Natural Medicine in HistoryFrom the bestselling author of Keto DietLong before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we've become used to popping pills, patients have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction and over-prescribing - and they're desperate for an alternative. Here's the good that alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Greek medicine. Ancient Remedies for Modern Life is the first comprehensive layman's guide that will bring together and explain to the masses the very best of these time-tested practices. Bestselling author Dr. Axe explores the foundational concepts of ancient healing - eating right for your type and living in sync with your circadian clock. Readers will learn how traditional practitioners identified the root cause of each patient's illness, then treated it with medicinal herbs, mushrooms, CBD, essential oils and restorative mind-body practices. What's more, they'll discover how they can use these ancient treatments themselves to cope with dozens of diseases, from ADHD to diabetes, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease and beyond. Through engaging language and accessible explanations, Ancient Remedies for Modern Life offers readers everything they need to know about getting, and staying, healthy - without toxic, costly synthetic drugs.

The “we don’t know what causes autism” but can cure/treat it with some food really made question this book

[Bethany · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice mix between a chapter and a reference book. It starts with several chapters to explain the concepts (traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and other ancient medicines, info on specific herbs/mushrooms and practices, etc) and includes reference pages, tables, tables, and images to help with understanding and to use as a reference. At the end, there is a section with conditions and remedies (supplements and foods), as well as a recipe section. Herbs etc are not only mentioned by name, but also by recommended dose (amount and frequency). Will have to read this one again soon, lots of useful information to get you started on finding the root cause for illness and optimal health!

Ancient remedies for Modern Life captures the purpose of the book, that starts with an explanation of some cultures approach to health and medicine and ends with guidance to treat some diseases and recipes for each type of ailment. Overall easy to read and understand, in line with my often cautious approach, so i am willing to give a try as preventive, to treat small issues or to combine with western medicine on more complex issues.
