Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seven Peppercorns" covers the vast scope of traditional Thai medicine practices including: Thai element theory, physical therapies, medical Buddhism, herbal medicine for massage, divinatory practices, and spirit medicine; all held within the context of a Thai bodyworker’s instructional manual. This is not another step-by-step Thai massage photographic sequence book, but rather an in-depth training in the theory behind the steps, with instruction in a wide range of esoteric Thai physical therapies designed to bring practical understanding of Thai bodywork as it is practiced by traditional doctors in Thailand. "Seven Peppercorns" is divided into twelve main segments; each segment containing several chapters. The organizational flow takes the reader from introduction, overview and history, through an understanding of Thai anatomy, including element, point, and sen line theory, to instruction in Thai diagnosis, actual physical manipulations and practical application of the shamanistic and Buddhist components of traditional Thai medicine as it applies to bodywork; all in an easy-to-follow well organized format. Included in this guide are Thai self care practices and exercises as well as treatment guidelines for specific disorders. "Seven Peppercorns" serves as both an instruction manual and a reference book fully annotated with appendixes, notes, glossary, bibliography and index. The straightforward academic informational writing is gentled with moments of conversational author-to-reader comments (often humorous), and peppered with short personal narrative stories that bring the reader into the sensory tapestry of Thailand. It is intended as a stand alone manual, or as a text book for Thai massage instructors to use in classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive consideration of charms as a deeply integrated aspect of the English Middle Ages. Katherine Storm Hindley explores words at their most powerful: words that people expected would physically change the world. Medieval Europeans often resorted to the use of spoken or written charms to ensure health or fend off danger. Hindley draws on an unprecedented archive of more than a thousand such charms from medieval England—more than twice the number gathered, transcribed, and edited in previous studies and including many texts still unknown to specialists on this topic. Focusing on charms from 1100 to 1350 CE as well as previously unstudied texts in Latin, French, and English, Hindley addresses important questions of how people thought about language, belief, and power. She describes seven hundred years of dynamic, shifting cultural landscapes, where multiple languages, alphabets, and modes of transmission gained and lost their protective and healing power. Where previous scholarship has bemoaned a lack of continuity in the English charms, Hindley finds surprising links between languages and eras, all without losing sight of the extraordinary variety of the medieval charm tradition: a continuous, deeply rooted part of the English Middle Ages.

The Ben cao gang mu is a sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li Shizhen (1518–1593). The culmination of a sixteen-hundred-year history of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical literature, it is considered the most important and comprehensive book ever written in the history of Chinese medicine and remains an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners. This nine-volume series reveals an almost two-millennia-long panorama of wide-ranging observations and sophisticated interpretations, ingenious manipulations, and practical applications of natural substances for the benefit of human health. Paul U. Unschuld's annotated translation of the Ben cao gang mu, presented here with the original Chinese text, opens a rare window into viewing the people and culture of China's past.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction How to Prevent Fever To Lower a Fever Chronic Fever Curing Malaria The Salt Cure for Malaria Precautions Wheat Flour Soup Recuperative Food Appetite Enhancers Chest Infection Fever Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction How many times in your life, have you touched your forehead with your body telling you that something is not quite right in your system? And then you say to yourself, as you have learned since childhood to recognize this particular rise in temperature – oh well, I seem to have a slight fever. People who are stressed out and worried can also suffer from a rise in temperature, because their bodies are more vulnerable to possible bad health. An unnatural rise of the body temperature from its normal temperature of 98.4°F to anything above 100°F means that you are suffering from a slight fever. Fever is not a disease in itself, but is a symptom of a possible infection. That means there is something going wrong in your system somewhere, which is causing your body to show this abnormal rise in temperature as the white blood corpuscles in your immune system fight the invading virus and bacteria which have caused that particular infection. This febrile heat is going to show up, when you touch the skin. The skin is going to feel dry, hot, and "feverish." In medical terms fever is called pyrexia. This book is going to tell you how you can prevent fever and also cure it naturally. Of course, all the remedies are time-tested and timeworn taken from alternative medicine systems down the ages. Cures for malaria, chronic fever, recurring fever and infections, which cause a rise in temperature in your body are going to be treated naturally. It also means that you are going to be using methods which allopathic doctors consider quack remedies, because you are not going to be taking any drugs, but you are going to be curing your system naturally through natural remedies, especially those which have been used down the ages to fight off infections permanently. Instead of you being given a number of lab produced drugs which fight off the infection temporarily, but do not attack the main cause of the fever to destroy it, thus bringing back the infection again within a couple of weeks or months.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsha Scarbrough’s quest for spiritual wisdom led her to study West African shamanism with a Nigerian ceremonial leader and master drummer. The quest transformed into romance, then betrayal, and ultimately, tragedy. Honey in the River, her memoir of the sexy, stormy, spiritual romance with that polygamous shaman, explores the contemporary relevance of ancient African wisdom teachings. Scarbrough weaves the mythology and metaphysics of Ifa, the indigenous religion of the Yoruba people of West Africa, throughout her fast-paced tale which combines spiritual text with descriptions of her experiences in rhythm, dance and deep trance. As she blends archetypal drama and epic soap opera, Scarbrough reveals and befriends her personal shadow.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Colic Diarrhea A Bit on the Digestion of Milk Pain in the Stomach Teething Problems Exposure to Cold Clear Speech Bed-wetting Mustard Gooseberry Bananas Other Urinary Problems Traditional Sesame Seed Balls Appendix A bit about Speech Problems Some ideas behind Stammering and Lisping Conclusion Some Thoughts about Vaccination, Drugs and Natural Healing Processes Survival of the Fittest and Worst-Case Scenarios Author Bio Publisher Introduction We are very fortunate that we are living in a world where infant mortality has reduced considerably, thanks to the dispersion of knowledge and with parents getting to know more about how to take care of their children, without recourse to quack methods for curing ailments or trial or error theories about how to cure childhood ailments. Nevertheless, every child being mortal is going to fall prey to a large number of infantile diseases because that is a natural phenomenon, especially when he is living in the world where he is vulnerable to a large number of childhood illnesses. So you have two options. Either go running to the doctor, for every cough and sneeze, because you are terrified of his being so ill-that is an occupational hazard with first-time parents, it has happened down generations it is going to happen 5,000 years from now. Or you are going to use a little bit of common sense, and allow his natural healing system to get rid of the infection by itself. This is what happened the majority of the time, because before doctors existed nature had her own curative measures in order to get rid of infections. As man became more and more sophisticated, he began trying out experimentations on herbs and remedies, in order to support and encourage the natural healing process. For millenniums and through plenty of trial and error, man has found that some remedies worked and some did not. So that is why he has always been the guinea pig for some sort of therapeutic experimentation being undertaken by doctors down the ages. I remember AA Milnes’ Christopher Robin poems read in childhood, where parents and doctors get panic stricken because a little child has come down with sniffles and whiffles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hundreds of recipes in Maxime de la Falaise's delight-ful book triumphantly attest to the virtues of Anglo-Saxon gastronomy. Rich with the historical sense of taste, this book allows you to cook the rudiments of a medieval royal banquet, an Elizabethan nursery breakfast, or an eighteenth-century tavern lunch. The recipes are divided into five chronological sections, each preceded by an introduction recounting the fashions and the changes in the food and drink of the period; together they provide an overview of the evolution of English cookery. The earliest recipes, dating from the thirteenth century, are presented in their original language ("Take faire Mutton that hath ben roste . . .") as well as in a modern translation, and all measures and quantities have been updated throughout. Many of the dishes are quite simple to make; others are, quite literally, fit for a king. All together they constitute a delectable, sensual cele-bration of the development of English cuisine.
