Book Description
Chi is believed to be the vital force forming any living entity and it is the central underlying principle of TCM. It is the energy that your organs use to repair and heal.TCM works with the 24-hour flow of chi through your body. Every 24 hours chi spends two hours in each of the twelve organs. If your lifestyle builds chi and enhances its flow to your organs, your body will heal symptoms as they arise. Each chapter of the book looks at a specific organ and sets out healthy lifestyle choices you can make to keep it in top shape, and also reveals how the unhealthy choices that many of us knowingly make create the symptoms that progress to lifestyle diseases.

Book Description
Discover a different side of Japanese swordsmanship through this fascinating treatise by a samurai doctor on how to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spiritual life Samurai are best known for taking life—but here is a samurai doctor’s prescription for how to preserve life, and to make yours a long and healthy one. Unlike other samurai of his time, the samurai Kaibara Ekiken (1630–1714) was concerned less with swordsmanship than with how to maintain and nurture the healthy mind and body upon which martial techniques and philosophy depended. While serving as the chief medical doctor and healer to the Kuroda clan, he came to a holistic view of how the physical, mental, and spiritual lives of his patients were connected. Drawing from his medical practice, the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, and his life experience, Ekiken created this text as a guide to sustaining health and stamina from youth to old age. Ekiken’s advice regarding moderation, food and drink, sleep, sexual activity, bathing, and therapeutic practices is still amazingly intuitive and appropriate nearly three hundred years after this book was written.

Book Description
Clock On To Health is an entertaining and original handbook. It is both a lifestyle medicine how-to and a self-help guide. It repackages a core concept of Chinese medicine - the daily cycle of chi through the organs - into a beautifully simple daily routine that fights symptoms and boosts health. It offers an intelligent and sustainable lifestyle that is aimed specifically at preventing and addressing the symptoms of the new global health crisis: lifestyle disease. The book adapts ancient health insights of traditional Chinese medicine for the 21st century reader. Each chapter introduces one of the 12 organs of traditional Chinese medicine as a character illustrating that organ's function. This enables the reader to understand the connection between lifestyle and organ health. The book outlines the best times (from the perspective of organ health) for all normal daily activities, from snacks to social media to sleep, to make the reader's lifestyle their best medicine. It offers a delightful 24 hour journey through the internal world or the organs and is packed with practical tips on the healthiest foods, the most efficient exercises, and the key to work/life balance. The author, Jost Sauer, is faced daily with patients who are confused and fearful about their health. They don't know where to turn to or what advice to follow. They have lost faith in mainstream medicine, are over-medicated and miserable and on the road to lifestyle disease. They have lost hope. This is a snapshot of the global health meltdown. Clock On To Health offers the antidote to lifestyle disease. Jost has distilled centuries of Chinese medicine knowledge on the movement of chi in the body, and its healing properties, down to a daily routine accessible to everyone. The book is equally informed by his decades of experience as an acupuncturist and therapist. The advice it offers supports Western medicine, honours the spirit of Chinese medicine and delivers practical lifestyle-based solutions for hundreds of precursor symptoms for lifestyle disease. It empowers each reader to take charge of their health and build happy lives.

Book Description
This open access handbook, the first of its kind, provides a comprehensive and carefully curated multidisciplinary and genre-spanning view of the state of the field of Critical Menstruation Studies, opening up new directions in research and advocacy. It is animated by the central question: ‘“what new lines of inquiry are possible when we center our attention on menstrual health and politics across the life course?” The chapters—diverse in content, form and perspective—establish Critical Menstruation Studies as a potent lens that reveals, complicates and unpacks inequalities across biological, social, cultural and historical dimensions. This handbook is an unmatched resource for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and activists new to and already familiar with the field as it rapidly develops and expands.
