Old English Medical Remedies: Mandrake, Wormwood and Raven's Eye
by Sinéad SpearingHow pagan women blended magic and medicine—and why their medieval recipes may help cure modern-day illnesses. In ninth-century England, Bishop lfheah the Bald is dabbling with magic. By collecting folk remedies from pagan women, he risks his reputation. Yet posterity has been kind, as from the pages of Bald&’s book a remedy has been found that cures the superbug MRSA where modern antibiotics have failed. Within a few months of this discovery, a whole new area of medical research called Ancientbiotics has been created to discover further applications for these remedies. Yet, what will science make of the elves, hags and nightwalkers which also stalk the pages of Bald&’s book and its companion piece Lacnunga, urging prescriptions of a very different, unsettling nature? In these works, cures for the &“moon mad&” and hysteria are interspersed with directives to drink sheep&’s dung and jump across dead men&’s graves. Old English Medical Remedies explores the herbal efficacy of these ancient remedies while evaluating the supernatural, magical elements, and suggests these provide a powerful psychological narrative revealing an approach to healthcare far more sophisticated than hitherto believed. All the while, the voices of the wise women who created and used these remedies are brought to life, after centuries of suppression by the Church, in this fascinating read.

Old Souls: Compelling Evidence from Children Who Remember Past Lives
by Thomas ShroderA riveting firsthand account of one man’s mission to investigate and document some of the most astonishing phenomena of our time—children who speak of past life memory and reincarnation.All across the globe, small children spontaneously speak of previous lives, beg to be taken “home,” pine for mothers and husbands and mistresses from another life, and know things that there seems to be no normal way for them to know. From the moment these children can talk, they speak of people and events from the past—not vague stories of centuries ago, but details of specific, identifiable individuals who may have died just months, weeks, or even hours before the birth of the child in question. For thirty-seven years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than two thousand of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.

Old Wives Tales: The Truth Behind Common Notions
by Sue CastleFrom the book Jacket: Will a little warm milk really help you sleep? Should you put butter on a burn? Does turning a light off for a few minutes use more energy than it saves? Will chicken soup cure your cold? If you pick a baby up every time she cries, will she get spoiled? Here is the book that will set the record straight on the received wisdom and commonly accepted notions we've routinely followed for generations. The result of years of research, accumulated facts and a healthy dose of suspicion, Old Wives' Tales will entertain as it informs, offering not only the real basis in fact but also the origin and purpose of Mom's or her friends' sometimes dubious counsel, along with comments from a wide variety of experts, bona fide and otherwise. Understanding that today's up-to-the-minute advice may be tomorrow's old wives' tale, Sue Castle challenges this new wisdom with some penetrating questions and astute observations that will lead you to take at least some of the health gurus with a grain of salt. If you're still holding your breath trying to cure the hiccups or putting sugar on a cut and wondering why, here is a reference book you can't afford to be without.
Older and Wider: A Survivor's Guide to the Menopause
by Jenny EclairTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!'If you're after an in-depth medical or psychological insight into the menopause, I'm afraid you've opened the wrong book - I'm not a doctor . . . However, I am a woman and I do know how it feels to be menopausal, so this book is written from experience and the heart and I hope it makes you laugh and feel better.' JEOlder and Wider is Jenny Eclair's hilarious, irreverent and refreshingly honest compendium of the menopause. From C for Carb-loading and G for Getting Your Shit Together to I for Invisibility and V for Vaginas, Jenny's whistle-stop tour of the menopause in all its glory will make you realise that it really isn't just you.

Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans People: Minding the Knowledge Gaps (Routledge Advances in Social Work)
by Andrew King Kathryn Almack Yiu-Tung Suen Sue WestwoodWhat does it mean to grow older as a lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT) person? What gaps in knowledge about LGBT ageing remain? This timely and innovative book reports on a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council which aimed to address gaps in knowledge about older LGBT people and their experiences of ageing. The book discusses the project and contains chapters either specially commissioned or written by leading researchers and activists in the field. Informed by a range of theoretical perspectives, empirical research studies, critical observations as well as lived experiences, this book explores areas of LGBT ageing that have been under-studied. These include: bisexual ageing; trans ageing and older trans people’s mental health; ethnicity, culture and religion in the lives of older LGBT people and gaps in knowledge about older LGBT people from minority ethnic communities; intergenerational networks; residential and end-of-life care; and the effects of austerity on services. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential for researchers and policy makers interested in the lives of older LGBT people, people who work with older people and teachers and students interested in ageing, gender identity and sexuality.
The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting
by Steve HendricksA journalist delves into the history, science, and practice of fasting, an ancient cure enjoying a dynamic resurgence. When should we eat, and when shouldn’t we? The answers to these simple questions are not what you might expect. As Steve Hendricks shows in The Oldest Cure in the World, stop eating long enough and you’ll set in motion cellular repairs that can slow aging and prevent and reverse diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Fasting has improved the lives of people with epilepsy, asthma, and arthritis, and has even protected patients from the worst of chemotherapy’s side effects. But for such an elegant and effective treatment, fasting has had a surprisingly long and fraught history. From the earliest days of humanity and the Greek fathers of medicine through Christianity’s “fasting saints” and a 19th-century doctor whose stupendous 40-day fast on a New York City stage inaugurated the modern era of therapeutic fasting, Hendricks takes readers on a rich and comprehensive tour. Threaded throughout are Hendricks’s own adventures in fasting, including a stay at a luxurious fasting clinic in Germany and in a more spartan one closer to home in Northern California. This is a playful, insightful, and persuasive exploration of our bodies and when we should—and should not—feed them.

Può risalire al fatto che questi quadrupedi hanno un eccezionale senso dell'olfatto Nel campo della medicina veterinaria e aromaterapia per animali domestici, anche se ci sono ancora pareri contrari, l'uso di oli essenziali per i cani è noto per essere un approccio praticato sempre di più da alcuni veterinari. Gli oli essenziali per i cani fanno miracoli in profondità - e non in maniera affrettata. Hanno bisogno di tempo per penetrare le membrane cellulari degli animali di compagnia. Tenendo presente questo, si può essere sicuri che sono state raggiunte le parti vitali del cervello, fatto che può portare ad influenzare un benessere mentale. Pertanto, non è un mistero il motivo per cui gli oli sono altrettanti trucchi di magia per la psiche.
