Ancient Remedies: Secrets to Healing with Herbs, Essential Oils, CBD, and the Most Powerful Natural Medicine in History by Josh Axe
Bestselling author Dr. Josh Axe explains how to treat more than seventy diseases, lose weight, and increase vitality with traditional healing practices passed down through the ages. "Engaging, accessible and comprehensive" (Amy Myers, MD, author of The Autoimmune Solution) Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we've become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction and over-prescribing and they're desperate for an alternative. Here's the good news- That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Greek medicine. Ancient Remedies is the first comprehensive layman's guide that will bring together and explain to the masses the very best of these time-tested practices. In Ancient Remedies, Dr. Axe explores the foundational concepts of ancient healing eating right for your type and living in sync with your circadian clock. Readers will learn how traditional practitioners identified the root cause of each patient's illness, then treated it with medicinal herbs, mushrooms, CBD, essential oils, and restorative mind-body practices.

What a great book!
What a great book! I really enjoyed reading it and I love all the tips! My grandma always used food and herbs as remedies plus prayer and essential oils so this book reminds of my grandma that passed away. It's a great companion and I love reading about how food can help healing so many things. This book also has some great recipes at the end and I can't wait to try them. This is a must have book! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Very Informative
I have always been a lover of health and rationales or the science behind medicines. I have been enmeshed in Western Medicine for over 25 years and wondered if there is a different or better way to care for our bodies. I am fully appreciative of what research has afforded us and I think there is room to return to the basics and utilize more of what is naturally present in the world around us. There are some great insights to be gleaned from this guide and I know I will reference it again. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own, freely given.

Good overview of Traditional Medicine
Dr. Josh Axe is a holistic medical professional whose work I have followed for a number of years. Ancient Remedies explains a lot about Chinese medicine, which is a 5000 year old medical discipline which is being used more in the West. The explanations of this were good for a lay person. He gives a quiz for the reader to help determine which elemental type they are and what foods to eat and avoid. I found this section very interesting and the foods for my type were pretty accurate. The book gives dietary suggestions taken from ancient medical wisdom to avoid the modern processed foods sugar, refined grains and processed oils, eat fermented foods and all natural whole foods. There are chapters on herbs, cannabis and CBD, and essential oils. These chapters are good introductions to these topics, but may not go into enough detail for people who have a deep interest in any of these topics. The best section of the book, in my opinion, is where "prescriptions" are given to heal over 70 conditions with ancient remedies. It gives food to avoid and foods to add, herbs and supplements to take, essential oils to use, and other remedies to consider. There are also a number or recipes using traditional foods. For someone who would like a good introductory overview of traditional medicine this would be a useful book. I received a complementary copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommend!
Traditional Chinese medicine is something I’ve always wanted to know more about, and of course I’m a Dr. Axe fan. I’ve been following him for a decade and always find his information helpful. He’s been an important part of my healing process over the years, so choosing to read this book was a no-brainer. Ancient Remedies is jam-packed with information from essential oils to foods, but there are important sections regarding cannabinoids, emotional health, and pharmaceuticals as well. It helps with balancing the mind, body, and spirit, and seems to offer much more than other self-help books I’ve read. It’s no secret that staying optimistic is healthy for everyone, but I particularly loved parts in the book that talked about hope, love, and forgiveness. The recipes are wonderful too, and most are those that I’ll actually adopt. I was really pleased with the range of topics here. The quiz included to help you identify your element was something I wanted to love. It wasn’t so easy for me, as I ended up somewhere in the middle and quite confused honestly. This leads into the best foods to eat, so I think I’ll have to work on figuring that out as time goes on. I also found the words ‘what’s more’ which were used repeatedly just a little distracting. Other than those few little niggles, this book was great. I’m so happy to have received a copy for review. This is one I highly recommend. 4.5*****

So much great natural health info in one book!
This book explains the whole concept of individualized health care and the use of ancient remedies like traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and the five element system. I could relate to the idea that human beings are all inherently different and so there is no one treatment, diet, etc. that helps everyone. The idea that our emotions are an integral part of both our good health and diseases resonates. The descriptions and explanations were very easy to understand. Chapter 12 lists specific remedies for over 70 specific conditions which is a plus. Definitely a book I would recommend to someone “new” to “alternative” medicine. But also just as relevant to those who have been on the natural health bandwagon for some time. What I liked most was having so much great information all together in one book.
