Download or read book Korean Healing written by Yunkyu Chung and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern medicine cannot effectively deal with allergies and autoimmune diseases. Although the symptoms can be temporarily controlled by drugs, the immune function, which is the root cause of the disease, is not an area that can be easily controlled by drugs. In Eight-Constitution medicine, by activating the body's immune function through a constitution-specific regimen and acupuncture method, various autoimmune diseases such as atopy, rheumatism, lupus, myasthenia gravis, and muscular diseases are successfully cured. The reason why Eight-Constitution medicine can cure these diseases is that Eight-constitution medicine is a natural healing method that the human body heals on its own. As an American certified public accountant(CPA), my specialty is accounting. I have worked as an accounting expert in my entire social life, so my medical knowledge is very limited. I learned Eight-Constitution medicine 5 years ago. At that time, the total class hours are 24 hours(3 hours a day for 8 days). And immediately, with the skill of a clumsy beginner, I used laser acupuncture to successfully heal at once my severe chest pain that had been seriously ache for 5 months. What does my treatment experience mean? Eight-Constitution Medicine is simple and clear, meaning that anyone who mechanically applies it will benefit. A total of 60 acupuncture points is used: 30 below the knee and 30 below the elbow(about 18 acupuncture points are sufficient for your own treatment). And if you perform acupuncture in a predetermined order to the acupuncture points for each constitution, the immunity will allow the body to heal on its own. Press a few buttons and the healing program will run in a body as if in a computer. This book shows the Creator's secret coding to activate the immunity. It presents a way to solve the limitations of modern medicine. With this book, even ordinary people can do what only the world-class oriental medicine doctors can do, and can go beyond the limits of modern medicine! If you are suffering from health problems, find a miracle through this book. It also helps to cope with COVID-19 and its sequelae with Eight-Constitution medicine. If you follow this book, anyone can accurately diagnose 8 constitutions. How wonderful it would be if any ordinary people can diagnose 8 constitutions and apply it to your diet. There are many cases in which eight-constitution regimen alone has led to miraculous healing, some of them have been introduced in this book. There are countless ways to classify physical constitutions in the world. Isn't Eight-Constitution medicine one of those common ways to classify constitutions? Among the various constitutional classification methods, only Eight-Constitution Medicine has acupuncture to verify the diagnosis result of constitutions! If the diagnosis is wrong in Eight-Constitution medicine, side effects occur in performing acupuncture. Eight-Constitution medicine acupuncture is the safest in the world because it does not have any side effects as long as the diagnosis of constitutions is accurate and acupuncture formula for each constitution is correctly applied.
Download or read book Korean Medicine written by Seoul Selection and published by Seoul Selection . This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioners of Korean traditional medicine say the ultimate cause of disease is not so much the invasion of external elements but rather malfunctions in inherent bodily function. Since disease is considered to result from the weakening of vital energy, the emphasis is placed on boosting the body’s ability to defend against disease. Illness may be attributed to emotional states like joy or sorrow or to other internal causes such as overwork and fluctuations in the function of internal organs. Even diseases that appear to have external causes are ultimately seen as the products of internal factors. If one’s ability to fend off sickness is strong enough, then one will not get sick even if pathogens do enter the body. Thus, treatment focuses mainly on bolstering the body’s vital energy.

Download or read book If Your Mouth Could Talk written by Kami Hoss and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER You’ve heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there’s a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add 10 to 15 years to your life. It’s been right under your nose this whole time—literally. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Everything in the human life cycle is related to the mouth: fertility, childbirth, sleeping soundly, success in school, finding a mate, getting a job, psychological well-being, avoiding chronic or systemic disease, and aging well. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. If Your Mouth Could Talk is the result of over 20 years of firsthand experience and research by renowned orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedist, Dr. Kami Hoss. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. This isn’t a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the other standard advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you’ll hear about how to protect your mouth’s microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more. This is an in-depth guide for people who want to take control of their health to the fullest extent possible—who want to understand how their mouth contributes to their overall health and quality of life, and what they can do to better care for it. If your mouth could talk, it would tell you about the condition of your entire life. Time to start listening.

Download or read book Your Yin Yang Body Type written by Gary Wagman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimize your health by learning the inherent strengths and weaknesses of your body type • Explains the 4 major body types of Korean Sasang medicine; the best foods, exercises, and herbs for each; and what to avoid • Reveals how the Yin Yang energy balance of the bodily organs relates to the emotional balance and health of each body type • Provides 2 different self-tests to determine your type Deeply rooted in the classics of Oriental medicine, the ancient Korean art of Sasang medicine explains how we each are born with a specific body “type” that establishes our physical and emotional strengths and weaknesses. These traits have a direct influence on how we interact with others and react to stress, trauma, and illness. Discovering your type can empower you to make the best choices regarding your health and well-being. In this book, Dr. Gary Wagman explores the 4 major body types of Sasang medicine and 2 different self-tests to determine your type. He explains the balance of Yin and Yang energy within the organs for each type and how this underlies your emotional tendencies and health patterns. With a strong spleen and weaker kidneys, for example, the Yang type A person will be inclined to anger and susceptible to urinary complaints. Offering stories from his Sasang medical practice, as well as his own healing, the author shows how organ excesses and deficiencies are often the culprit in emotional and psychological issues and how addressing these energetic imbalances can bring about lasting change. Dr. Wagman provides an extensive look at the most beneficial foods for each type and those that could be harmful, as well as which forms of exercise are most effective. He shows which herbs are most compatible for you and which could exacerbate your inborn energetic imbalances. He offers Sasang approaches for a range of common conditions, from high blood pressure, aching joints, and allergies to common colds, inadequate sleep, and weight gain. He also introduces ways to enhance spiritual well-being by balancing your innate emotional strengths and weaknesses. Addressing the body, mind, and spirit, discovering your Yin Yang body type provides the key to optimizing physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
