The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things: Fourteen Natural Steps to Health and Happiness

The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things: Fourteen Natural Steps to Health and Happiness

Every day modern medicine announces the arrival of yet another â€œwonder drugâ€ or â€œmiracle procedureâ€ to a world increasingly wary of expensive high-tech cures. Drugs, transplants, and surgery donâ€™t work for 90 percent of our aches and pains and, while we are grateful for life-saving developments, we know that most come with risks that we ignore at our peril.

Long hailed as one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine, Larry Dossey directs our attention to simple sources of healing that have been available for centuriesâ€”treasures often hidden in plain sightâ€”from the power of optimism and of tears to speed recovery to the surprising usefulness of dirt and bugs in curing disease and infection to the benefits of doing nothing.

Exploring the medical research that validates these simple remedies, Dossey encourages us to align ourselves with the wisdom of nature and allow true healing to take place. The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things can transform our view of what health is all about, whether our concern is cancer or the common cold.
