Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity

Written by a Westerner for the Western mind, here is the first book to explore in light of modern science the balanced and comprehensive system of health care used by Chinese physicians, martial artists, and meditators for over 5,000 years. Drawing on original Chinese sources and years of personal experience, the author introduces the philosophy of Tao and gives detailed, practical information on:

• diet and nutrition, including sample menus
• food combining, and detoxifying the body
• specific goods and juices and treatments for a wide range of diseases
• fasting and excretion
• breathing exercises
• physical exercises for long life, total relaxation, and general health
• acupuncture and massage techniques
• Taoist birth control
• sex therapy
• bedroom arts and techniques to ensure complete satisfaction for both partners
• herbal aphrodisiacs and other sexual aids
• meditation

With many helpful charts and clear illustration, The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity makes the ancient "Way" easily accessible to those seeking the latest in health care. Our East Earth Trade Winds herbalist says that it is hard to go wrong with a Daniel Reid book. They are all informative and practical.
