DMSO is a natural chemical compound derived from trees as a
by-product from paper manufacturing. DMSO has been called a new
medical principle and a true wonder drug. It has proven effective,
either by itself or in combination with other products in the
treatment of nearly every ailment known.

revised and enlarged 4th edition draws on Chinese and Greek herbal
medicine to integrate traditional herbal energetics with the latest
findings in plant pharmacology, using traditional vitalistic and
modern scientific systems of herbal medicine are complementary
paradigms, rather than irreconcilable approaches. Using both
systems simultaneously will greatly enhance the efficacy of herbal
formulation in clinical practice, as well as provide a deeper
understanding of each system. The Energetics of Western Herbal
Medicine includes detailed practical instructions for
preparing and using herbal remedies for internal and topical use,

Rhodiola, Eleuthero, Devil’s claw, White peony, Asian ginseng,
Asian buplever and Baikal skullcap. The introductions to each herb
class, which explore the treatment strategies behind the various
types of herbs, have been rewritten to include much new clinical
material as well as to reflect current knowledge. In addition, the
whole text has been re-typeset for greater user friendliness as a
practical herbal medicine reference. For each herb, it
includes the most useful preparation forms, along with important
dosage, caution and contraindication information. For this fourth
edition, the detailed dosages for tincture, infusion and decoction
preparations have been fully updated, based on current Western
herbal medicine practice, and the tincture strength and ethanol
content information have been added for every herb.
When we think of yoga today, we envision spandex-clad, perspiring,
toned people brought together in a room filled with yoga mats and
engaged in a fitness ritual set apart from day-to-day life. Their
aim is to enhance something they all deem sacred: their bodies. In
Selling Yoga, Andrea Jain looks at the development of modern,
popular yoga and suggests that its practitioners are strategic
participants in the contemporary global market for
self-developmental products and services. Pre-colonial and early
modern yoga systems comprise esoteric techniques that aim at
transcendent states of detachment from ordinary and conventional
life. In contrast, contemporary popularized yoga aims at immediate
self-development through the enhancement of the mind-body complex
according to dominant health and fitness paradigms. Postural yoga
is prescribed not as an all-encompassing worldview or system of
practice, but as one part of self-development that provides
increased beauty and flexibility as well as reduced stress; it can
be combined with various other worldviews and practices available
in the global marketplace. However, Jain argues that yoga systems
cannot be reduced to mere commodities-that yoga is, in fact, a
religion of consumer culture. It functions as a social ritual that
removes individuals from everyday life for the sake of
self-development. Yoga brands destabilize the basic utility of yoga
commodities and assign to them new meanings that represent the
fulfillment of self-developmental needs deemed sacred in
contemporary consumer culture.
