A reference guide to understanding the natural rhythm of our organs
and learning to support them in a holistic way * Explains the Organ
Body Clock from Traditional Chinese Medicine and which organs and
meridians are dominant during different hours of the day *
Describes exactly what happens inside the body during each organ's
active time and shows what we can do to support the organs with
plant medicine, homeopathy, our behavior, and simple daily
practices * Explores the mental and emotional states each organ is
related to and their connections to the teeth, the other organs,
and the Five Elements of TCM All of our organs are energetically
interconnected. They each have regular rest and active cycles
throughout the day, with different organs becoming dominant at
different hours. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is known as
the Organ Body Clock. In this accessible guide to the body clock in
Traditional Chinese Medicine, the author shows how to support the
body's natural rhythms of activity, recognize the body's signals of
imbalance and find their sources, and achieve healing on the
physical and energetic levels. He explains how the body clock can
provide deep insight into our physical and energetic health. For
example, if we always wake up at a certain time at night, we should
look up which organ is associated with that time, which will lead
us to discover the part of our body that needs special attention
and help. The author explores the 12 major organs of the body,
describing their active and rest hours, their function inside the
body, the mental and emotional states they are related to, and
their connections to the teeth, the other organs, and the Five
Elements of TCM. The author describes exactly what happens inside
the body during each organ's active time and shows what we can do
to support the organs with plant medicine, homeopathy, our
behavior, and simple daily practices. By working with the body
clock and better understanding our bodies' rhythms, we more easily
trace our ailments and conditions to their source for faster
relief, sustainable healing, and energetic balance.
HERBS / ALCHEMY "Simply put, this is a classic text on plant
alchemy, or spagyrics, for the modern practitioner. . . . Anyone
serious about learning alchemy needs to have a copy." --Mark
Stavish, director of the Institute of Hermetic Studies and author
of The Path of AlchemyThe practice of spagyrics is the application
of ancient alchemical working methods in the preparation of
tinctures, essences, and other products from medicinal plants.
While ordinary tinctures and infusions use only a part of the great
curative potential of plants, spagyric methods "open" medicinal
plants completely to reveal their more powerful healing properties.
Drawing on the rich imagery and symbolism of ancient source
materials, Manfred M. Junius describes these methods in great
detail, showing readers how to prepare plant remedies alchemically
for their own use as well as imparting a knowledge of the
ideological world in which alchemistic and hermetic thought
flowered. Spagyrics includes the Plant Magistery of Paracelsus and
the Life Elixir recipe of Andreas Libavius among its historic
techniques as well as a wealth of scientific information that
demonstrates the greater efficacy of alchemical methods of plant
essence extraction. This classic source text preserves the nearly
forgotten but highly valuable methods of this true hermetic art for
preparing natural remedies.MANFRED M. JUNIUS (1929-2004) was a
professor of biology at the University of Calcutta and later served
as the production manager for spagyrics for Australerba
Laboratories in Australia. He was also head of the Australian
School of Ayurveda in Adelaide, Australia. His Western alchemical
knowledge was obtained through many years of personalinstruction
from Augusto Pincaldi in Switzerland.
