Self-Healing Strategies: Simple Measures for Protecting Your Health, Staying Well, and Living Longer

With Self-Healing Strategies, Dr. Andrew Weil returns to teach the sequel to his first complete learn-at-home audio course for optimum health. On volume one, Taking Care of Yourself, listeners learned the foundations for lifelong wellness: eating for maximum health and pleasure, creating a “whole person” fitness program, and accessing the mind’s proven ability to heal the body. Now, with Self-Healing Strategies, Dr. Weil introduces us to the specific arts of self-healing. These six practical one-on-one sessions cover: • Keeping Your Immune System Strong – Dozens of specific ways to activate and support the body’s own defenses against infections and illness • Understanding Herbal Medicine – Dr. Weil’s expert guidance on how to use herbal remedies and preparations to boost your natural healing potential • Preventing Chronic Disease – How to avoid heart attack, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and more, often without turning to pharmaceutical drugs • Living Longer and Aging Gracefully – Recommendations for reducing the risk of age-related problems and staying healthy throughout your lifespan • Exploring Alternative Therapies – Homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, ayurveda, bodywork, energy medicine, and other alternative therapies – how they work and how to choose among them • Living Well in the 21st Century – The future of integrative medicine and (until it arrives) how to get the most out of conventional and alternative medicine today.
