ANCIENT REMEDIES FOR MODERN LIFE

From the bestselling author of 'Keto Diet', we explore effective ancient remedied for ADHD, diabetes, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease and more. Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors, doctors treated people, not symptoms, and although we have become used to popping pills, many patients have had enough of dangerous side effects, risk of addiction, and over-prescribing. We are desperate for an alternative. Thankfully that alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for centuries in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Greek medicine and this book is the very first comprehensive layman's guide to bring together the very best of these time-tested practices. Dr Axe explores the foundational concepts of ancient healing - eating right for your type and living in sync with your circadian clock. 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. We learn to understand the five organ systems of TCM and prescriptions for 70+ conditions which occupy the last one third of the book. There are foods that nourish the neurological and cardiovascular systems like asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, chives, leafy green veg, red bell peppers and spinach and that is just the vegetables. Plus fruits, grains and starches, meat and fish, nuts and seeds, legumes, herbs and spices and other - coffee, dark chocolate and shiitake mushrooms. There are seven day eating plans to heal cardio-neuro (fire) imbalance starting with breakfast on Monday with a chocolate cherry shake, arugula salad with beets and goats cheese for lunch and grass-fed burger with steamed vegetables and tahini for dinner. The A-Z of conditions begin with acid reflux (GERD) with the top 5 ancient prescriptions being liquorice root, ginger, probiotics, apple cider vinegar or baking soda to neutralise stomach acid or fennel to reduce stomach inflammation - take 500mg two or three times daily. Part four is the recipe section with indication of diet types, dairy, gluten free, keto, low carb, paleo, vegan and vegetarian and some of the delicious side dishes include sweet potato and rutabaga fries and rice noodles with miso pesto.
