12 Healing Herbal Recipes: Herbal Medicine The Delicious Way
Mary Thibodeau - 2016
If you are interested in maximizing this health strategy by incorporating highly medicinal and nutritive herbs and spices, then this book is for you. There exists a line between nutrition and herbal medicine that represents a very gray area when it comes to our diet. This book is about that line – and how to discover delicious foods that provide not only nutrition, but also many medicinal benefits. These cross-over foods, as I like to call them, include some of nature’s most potent herbal remedies. Not only do they offer herbal healing, but they also provide a high level of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, amino acids, energy giving carbs and essential fatty acids. In modern society, our main food sources purchased at grocery stores and restaurants are often lacking in necessary Vitamins and Minerals, and are abundant in artificial ingredients, dangerous additives and excess fat and sodium. As a result, many of us are nutrient deficient and sick. The 12 recipes in this book all include herbs and foods that are nutrient dense and medicinally dynamic. Incorporating these amazingly sumptuous dishes into your diet can bring your level of natural wellness up to a higher level.
“12 Healing Herbal Recipes: Herbal Medicine The Delicious Way” focuses on super foods and herbs like Basil, Cayenne, Dandelion, Thyme, and many more. Each recipe is complete with a nutritional summary and breakdown of the featured herbs. Enjoying herbal remedies and nutrient dense foods (sometimes they are one and the same!) as part of your regular meals translates into the best bang for your buck when it comes to eating healthy (and I don’t just mean money savings!). These are all recipes that I prepare regularly – they have all been developed by me over the years and have been personally taste tested by my family, my friends and me. Discover how herbal remedies and healthy spices can be integrated into your diet with these twelve easy recipes:

Somebody Should Have Told Us!
Jack Pransky - 2006
Jack Pransky's latest literary work has the ability to change the lives of those who follow the simple, yet powerful, wisdoms stored in this book. If what you seek is a better, more joyous way of being, what is contained in these pages can indeed transform your life. Unlike listening to Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, or Dr. Joy Brown, this book contains no advice. It offers no skills, nor any techniques. Initially, to some this may be disconcerting, but advice, skills and technique all reside in the outside world. This book contains something far more valuable. True change happens only from within, from one's own insight. It is far more comforting to realize there really is nothing to do because we already have everything we are looking for inside us, and it is always available to us no matter what difficult life situations we encounter if we know how to access it. This book points people in the direction of true self help.
Healing Sounds: The Power of Harmonics
Jonathan Goldman - 1996
• Includes practical exercises demonstrating how to use sound in healing and meditation, including "Vowels as Mantras" and "Overtoning". • Describes how harmonics can be used as "sonic yoga" for meditation and deep relaxation to enhance energy. • Author won 1999 Visionary Awards for Best Healing-Meditation Album. The Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece, and Rome understood that vibration is the fundamental active force in the universe and developed specific chants and tones for healing the mind, body, and spirit and achieving altered states of consciousness. Overtone chanting--also called vocal harmonics--is the ability of the human voice to create two or more notes at the same time. Healing Sounds explains how to perform vocal harmonics and experience their transformative and curative powers. An internationally recognized master teacher, the author provides diverse examples of sound healing systems incorporating both mystical and medical traditions--from Tibetan monks' use of tantric harmonics to Dr. Alfred Tomatis' use of Gregorian chanting--and their capacity to affect us on all levels. With many easy-to-follow exercises, Healing Sounds is the first book to show from both the scientific and spiritual viewpoints how to use the transformative power of sound for healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
