This book provides a richly documented account of the historical,
cultural, philosophical and practical dimensions of feng shui. It
argues that where feng shui is entrenched educational systems have
a responsibility to examine its claims, and that this examination
provides opportunities for students to better learn about the key
features of the nature of science, the demarcation of science and
non-science, the characteristics of pseudoscience, and the
engagement of science with culture and worldviews. The arguments
presented for feng shui being a pseudoscience can be marshalled
when considering a whole range of comparable beliefs and the
educational benefit of their appraisal. Feng shui is a
deeply-entrenched, three-millennia-old system of Asian beliefs and
practices about nature, architecture, health, and divination that
has garnered a growing presence outside of Asia. It is part of a
comprehensive and ancient worldview built around belief in chi (qi)
the putative universal energy or life-force that animates all
existence, the cosmos, the solar system, the earth, and human
bodies. Harmonious living requires building in accord with local
chi streams; good health requires replenishment and manipulation of
internal chi flow; and a beneficent afterlife is enhanced when
buried in conformity with chi directions. Traditional Chinese
Medicine is based on the proper manipulation of internal chi by
acupuncture, tai-chi and qigong exercise, and herbal dietary
supplements. Matthews has produced another tour de force that will
repay close study by students, scientists, and all those concerned
to understand science, culture, and the science/culture nexus.

Derived from ancient Chinese philosophy, Traditional Chinese
Medicine is considered to be difficult to understand. This book
provides an overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine by
illustrating the topics of visceral manifestation, etiology and
pathology in a clear manner to readers. Clinical treatments are
included to serve as references for practice. This book is
well-suited for both researchers and practitioners.
Which oil will work for you? This beautifully illustrated 52-card
deck + booklet will help you understand the benefits of a variety
of essential oils and harness their healing powers. Essential oils
have been used for therapeutic purposes for more than 6,000 years,
and today many turn to these substances for their healing
properties, whether they want to address a physical ailment or find
emotional balance. Drawing from her expertise and hands-on
experience with these powerful oils, Dr. Michelle Schoffro Cook has
created a colorful and user-friendly card deck and booklet. Each of
the 52 cards outlines the properties of an essential oil, ranging
from frankincense to lavender, while the booklet provides a
comprehensive introduction to these oils with their history and
applications. With a range of ideas for using the oils to
strengthen physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, this
essential reference helps readers take full advantage of their
healing potential.
Conventional medicine focuses on the body's physical symptoms. But
more and more patients are questioning the limitations of this
approach and are exploring holistic approaches, such as
anthroposophic medicine, which also addresses the human soul -- our
individual thinking, will and feelings -- and the human spirit, our
self-awareness and essence. Anthroposophic medicine is an extension
of, not a replacement to, conventional medicine. This comprehensive
book introduces and explores the philosophy and practice of
anthroposophic medicine, which is based on principles developed by
Rudolf Steiner. It discusses many alternative therapies and areas
of health including artistic therapies, massage, childhood
illnesses, cancer and psychiatry. Healing for Body, Soul and Spirit
will inform and engage a general reader, with no medical
background, who is interested in alternative and holistic
approaches to human health.
The idea of editing this book was born in the winter of 1988/1989.
Christian Endler was organizing the workshop 'Wasser und
Information' (water and information) in Austria [1], and Jurgen
Schulte was working on a publication of his results on atomic
cluster stabilities and long-range electromagnetic interaction in
atomic clusters. It was Franz Moser from the Technical University
of Graz who brought these two together. After a talk that Moser had
given in Bremen, Schulte explained to hirn his ideas about clusters
and long range interaction, and his concern about reliable theories
and experiments in research on ultra high dilutions (UHD) and
homoeopathy. He was suggested to be a speaker at the Austrian
workshop. Reviewing the contributions of this workshop and the
current literature on UHD and homoeopathy, especially the PhD
thesis by Giesela King [2] and the excellent survey by Marco
Righetti [3], we decided to work on a book in order to critically
encou rage more scientists to work and publish in this field with a
high scientific standard. What we had in mind was a useful
contribution to the goal to lift research on UHD and homoeo pathy
to an internationally acceptable scientific standard, to encourage
international scien tists to work in this area and to establish UHD
and homoeopathy in academic science. Delayed by our individual
academic careers in our specific fields, and delayed by lack of
funds it took us about four years to finish this book.
Every day, everywhere in the world, people deal with sickness (both
physical and mental), and must choose ways to address the illnesses
from which they suffer. Some will go to doctors, take medicine,
have surgery. Others will do nothing. Still others try a
combination of prayer and medical attention. And some communities
rely on religious, spiritual, and ritual healing methods that
employ various techniques to heal their loved ones. Here, a
renowned anthropologist takes the reader on a tour of the myriad
spiritual healing traditions from around the world. Lessons from
communities in rural Ireland, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, Israel,
Russia, Africa, and the U.S. will provide a road map for readers as
they navigate through the many traditions, rituals, and sacred
mysteries of healing. Eleven degrees south of the equator in
Africa, members of a small, mud-hut village gathered around a
little African shrine--just a forked pole--to heal a member of
their community. Holy things were being done. Music played. The old
medicine men sang, and everyone joined in. The crowd was intent on
"singing-out" a harmful spirit from the body of a sick woman. Would
the ritual work? Would the woman be healed? The stories and
anecdotes found here will enlighten readers about alternative,
non-medical approaches to healing a variety of illnesses through
spirit and ritual. The stories, told from first-hand accounts in
many cases, are fascinating and will move readers to a greater
understanding of the role of religion and the spirit in the life of
the body. Anyone facing an illness of any sort, or caring for a
loved one, will find strength in these pages, and possibly new
approaches that engage the mind, the spirit, and the body in the
fight against sickness.
Describes, and guides readers in selecting and using, remedies for
treating burns, sports injuries, and other common ailments.
