Description | The human microbiome and its resident micro-organisms have in recent years come to represent a new frontier in health research and science. Yet this body of knowledge has hitherto been little addressed within Oriental Medicine theory and has consequently been underutilised in practice.
Press reviews for: The Microbiome, Gut Health and Oriental MedicineJudy Joo, chef, author and tv personalityLisa takes you on a fascinating journey into the microbiome, Oriental Medicine, and culinary wellness. This book is an essential read for anyone wanting to fully understand and practice the art and science of living and eating well. You'll discover the secrets to unlocking your biome and be healthier and happier for it. Jen Wade, Joint Principal of the Acupuncture AcademyThis book is absolutely fascinating, thought-provoking, and provides a clear bridge between current Western fascination with our gut microbiome, and long established Chinese medical theory. From society's first, tentative steps into this subject area, through to a wider societal acknowledgement of its importance - we have all become obsessed with good 'gut health' of late - Lisa skilfully links through into Chinese medical theory, and most importantly, practical and real-life solutions. I am in awe of what she has done here, and it reminds me again that negative events often have the power to spark new and innovative thinking. Lianne Campbell MSc, 'Gutted' podcast host and author of 'Healed' and '10 Powerful Steps to Clear Psoriasis'This book offers an intriguing fusion of ancient medicine and developing advances into the human microbiome. As someone with a long-term interest in the microbiome; specifically in gut health, it was fascinating to overlay this area with Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. The developments in microbial research have brought a paradigm shift in our understanding of, not only the body, but also heath, disease and treatment. This book helps strengthen our knowledge of these areas, especially in relation to Oriental Medicine. |
