Book excerpt: Before the colonisation of Australia, Aboriginal Australians lived on a wonderful larder of fresh fruit, vegetables and lean meat, in a land largely free from disease, with more exercise, less stress and supportive communities. Today, in Aboriginal communities all over Australia, there are higher instances of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, renal disease, some types of cancer and lung diseases than in the general population. This book is an attempt to preserve bush tucker knowledge for future generations of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to ensure the information is not lost with the passing of Elders. The authors describe over 260 species of the edible plants and fungi that were regularly gathered by the Noongars of the Bibbulmun Nation of the south-west of Western Australia before and after colonisation. Many of these plants and fungi are difficult to find today because of land clearing for crops and the farming of sheep and cattle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the art of medicine matter? Does it really help us become better doctors and improve results? Dr. Claudia Welch explores how the effectiveness of a physician extends far beyond the ability to prescribe correct treatments, and how mastering the art of doctoring can make the medicine more effective. Drawing on Eastern medical traditions and experience as well as on Western science, Dr. Welch examines how we know what we know, the mechanics of doctor-patient emotional contagion, and the degree to which a patient's sensory experience in a medical office affects their experience of treatments delivered. Dr. Welch also offers practical steps that doctors can take to cultivate more refined perceptive abilities and improve results. Dr. Welch's book will be essential reading for all health care practitioners interested in understanding the art of their practice and how it can enhance therapeutic outcomes, including doctors of Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Naturopathy, as well as western medical professionals and other complementary health practitioners.

Book excerpt: WHY THIS BOOK CAN REALLY HELP YOU GET RID OF CHRONIC AND BOTHERSOME DISEASES FASTER AND MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN MOST DRUGS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SO FAR... Naturopathy is one of the most astonishing forms of treatment. It promotes a natural way of curing and self-healing and has helped a great number of people treat their diseases. It is quite pleasant to get the solution to your sickness without injecting chemicals and other high drugs and heal effectively. One of the best things about naturopathic treatments is that there aren't any side effects or any bad effects on your health. Why is nature be more resolutive than drugs? Simple... Because every active ingredient of normally prescribed drugs originates from plants. An infinite number of people are afflicted by even mild disorders, which traditional medicine fights with chemical concoctions that have side effects that are far more serious than the symptoms they intend to fight. Knowing the healing power of the herb will give you a chance to eliminate problems quickly and easily like: - Recurring fatigue (when you have no reason to be) - Drowsiness (during the day, when you should be active) - Depression and anxiety - Difficulty sleeping - Constipation - Bloated stomach - Migraines - Food intolerances And many others... In this book, I am going to show you a wide range of plants and herbs that will assuredly help you eliminate the burden that has been afflicting you for a long time, and you will no longer be forced to suffer alone. This will be explained on the basis of the biochemical evidence that scientific studies have indisputably established. Don't further damage your health by trying to improve it. You have the freedom to take care of your well-being. Don't put it off any longer. How much have you already paid for treatments? Make the only choice you deserve...
