“Full of brilliant ideas” for harnessing the natural goodness of plants through the seasons for self-care and gift-giving (Kirstie Allsopp, from the foreword). This is a source book for mind, body, and soul, as well as a testament to the natural power and beauty of herbs. Overflowing with ideas from the pretty to the practical, it contains many projects that use the gardener’s bounty through the seasons. Our gardens contain much of what we need to keep mild ailments at bay, and it’s fun giving it a go—instead of nuking the dandelions in your lawn, pick them and use them. Or plant marigolds, not just for their cheerful color, but to make wonderful skin oils with them. You’ll find recipes for invigorating body scrubs, relaxing bath salts, and just-plain-fun bath bombs—as well as tips for what to look for in your garden or home that can be used to make health-giving tonics or soothing balms. Take a leaf out of the wisdom of country lore—new research shows much of what they were talking about made sense—and put it to use for mild ailments. Whether you want to give something practical for the home, indulgent to enjoy at bath-time, or to complement a delicious dinner, there is a present that will suit everyone.

We’ve been led to believe that when we get sick, it’s our genetics. Or it’s just bad luck—and doctors alone hold the keys to optimal health. For years, Lissa Rankin, M.D., believed the same. But when her own health started to suffer, and she turned to Western medical treatments, she found that they not only failed to help; they made her worse. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. Through her research, Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of the mind. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. Using extraordinary cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body’s physiology. She lays out the scientific data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body’s self-healing processes. In the final section of the book, you’ll be introduced to a radical new wellness model based on Dr. Rankin’s scientific findings. Her unique six-step program will help you uncover where things might be out of whack in your life—spiritually, creatively, environmentally, nutritionally, and in your professional and personal relationships—so that you can create a customized treatment plan aimed at bolstering these health-promoting pieces of your life. You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s "whispers" before they turn to life-threatening "screams" that can be prevented with proper self-care, and you’ll learn how to trust your inner guidance when making decisions about your health and your life. By the time you finish Mind Over Medicine, you’ll have made your own Diagnosis, written your own Prescription, and created a clear action plan designed to help you make your body ripe for miracles.
