EVALUATION:
Even though my interest was sinusitis I loved reading about all the herbs that were useful for all respiratory ailments and read it cover to cover, and ordered a few teas from Amazon as a result.
SAMPLE QUOTATION:
“Breathing problems do more than temporarily affect other organs and systems in the body. They can also cause chronic diseases. The reverse is true, too: For example, problems with the circulatory system can lead to lung problems. The condition of the digestive system is also important, since the lungs, bowels, kidneys, and skin share the task of removing wastes. If a problem develops in any of these organs, the body compensates by increasing the load on others. The lungs can handle only a limited amount of wastes. So if, for example, the bowels aren’t working properly and the lungs take on some of the burden, the lungs can also develop problems.
Many pathological changes in tissues can be prevented if the environment around the body’s cells is always rich in oxygen. Two of the best measures for maintaining good health is getting regular exercise and promoting proper breathing. Balance and harmony, along with appropriate herbal treatments when necessary, are the keys to successful preventative medicine. We need a clear free flow of energy through all aspects of our lives—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Proper breathing is just part of the equation.”
RATING:
I gave this a 5 because it is well-organized, informative and well-written—enough so that I may actually purchase it (I borrowed the eBook through Overdrive).
