Tao of Health Sex and Longevity

People are increasingly looking to alternatives to Western medicine. Here is a unique, comprehensive and practical self-help guide to a balanced and positive lifestyle, which is also a serious introduction to Taoism itself. Tao, the most ancient and fundamental element in the world's oldest civilisation, is as relevant to today's world as to classical China. For the contemporary reader, this accessible book is the first to explore, in the light of the findings of modern Western science, the balanced and holistic system of health care used by Chinese physicians, martial artists and meditators for over 5,000 years. Daniel Reid has combined his personal experience with original research and presents the issues and answers of practical concern to a Western audience. The book covers every aspect of health with concise information on diet and nutrition, fasting, breathing and exercise, medicine, meditation and sexual yoga.
