Read Maoshing Ni's posts on the Penguin Blog.

A guide to natural healing that combines the wisdom of Eastern tradition with Western medicine and nutritional science.

Secrets of Self-Healing ranges from treating common ailments with healing foods and herbs to the all-round balancing of mind and body that is essential for vitality, wellness, and longevity.

In Part One, Dr. Mao explains that diet, exercise, self-awareness, a positive emotional life, living in harmony with the environment, and spiritual growth are crucial for vibrant, lasting health. He shows, for example, how simple self-assessments can help prevent disease, how negative emotions can make us ill, how clutter in our homes can create imbalances in our bodies, and how Eastern and Western medicine can work together to fight cancer.

Then, in Part Two, he reveals his favorite natural remedies for more than sixty-five common ailments, such as sore throat, dandruff, headaches, high blood pressure, sunburn, insect bites, indigestion, and jet lag.

Inspirational and practical, Secrets of Self-Healing will put readers on the path to a balanced and healthy life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A resource that continues to be helpful.
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2010

I saw the author on Dr. Oz tv show and was very impressed. Ordered two of his books so far. This one is easy to read and understand. I started taking astragalus ten years ago when my cancer was diagnosed. A few months ago, I saw Dr. Andrew Weil tout it on t.v., though he recommends two a day. I uppsed my dose as I feel it helps the immune system significantly. The reason I mention this one herb supplement is this: my own GI M.D. was glancing at my Medication List which I take with me to all doctors. He asked, "What's astragalus?" Most M.D.'s have no idea about this branch of medicine, they do not learn it in medical school. I know this because I was married to a physician for 25 years. Along with traditional Western medicine, I will continue to use supplements/herbs/etc. in my life and this book will continue to be by my bedside.

5.0 out of 5 stars at long last a book that combines both East and West
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2010

This book presents a melding of both worlds of medicine in an easy to read and understand foremat. It is written for both the professional and lay person. Secrets of Self-Healing should be on every book shelf for quick and easy answers to everyday health issues, using both ancient methods and some of the newer, more invasive techniques. Understanding some of the reasons behind the use of Chinese herbs, teas, accupuncture/pressure,and exercises helps the patient to be more compliant in following the practioner's reccomendations. The human body is self healing if and when we give it all the things necessary to return back to health.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful Reference on TCM
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016

Have found Maoshing Ni's writings very interesting and insightful. Bought this as a companion book to the Yellow Emperor's Classic as translated by the same Dr No. First part of the book provides a very concise overview of principles of traditional Chinese medicine in terms easy for western readers to understand. The second part addresses a good list of common ailments from TCM point of view and relates a good variety of treatment approaches based on TCMs interpretation of the ailment. Good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2009

Dr. Maoshing Ni is one of the great Doctors of Oriental Medicine in this century, in this country (US). He is one of the foremost scholars and acupuncturists practicing in the US and has contributed strongly to the literature of Health and Wellbeing for all to read. I have been using a database for many years that constantly referred to this book Secrets of Self-Healing with many home remedies that are remarkable in their simplicity and astonishing in their depth of knowledge. So after many years of seeing the reference to this book I finally decided to find it and I have been very impressed and pleased with my purchase. You won't be disappointed.

I purchased this book after reading a review somewhere else. I thought it would be a book to sit down and read and then be able to make some healthy lifestyle decisions. However, much to my suprise, it is a very good reference book for natural means to cure what ails you. I have used this book quite a few times to give suggestions to others in my life and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a natural way to cure most common ailments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Ways are Better
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
Common sense is all too rare. This book has many ideas used by my grandmother and mother like using apple cider vinegar for stomach problems and sore throats. The horrors of "modern" medicine with its incredible side affects to the drugs they perscribe should make anyone run sceaming,"there must be another way!" Preventative methods are thousands of years old. Modern medicine may be able to treat devastating illnesses, why not stay healthy naturally before illness sets in? This book is full of wisdom forgotten or not passed on from previous generations in American families, the eastern tradition is the exact opposite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro To Chinese Medicine
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2009
Verified Purchase
For those people living in the West, used to those types of remedies and drugs which cannot be even pronounced, this book is a gateway to a new world.

It is a great introduction to alternative and Chinese medicine for those interested in learning about it and practically implementing it into their daily, practical lives.

As a skeptic of the whole thing, I approached the book with doubts, due to the fact that a lot of Western medical doctors are not really for Eastern medicine. But ironically, as I tried and tested some of the methods of healing for my own ailments, it truly proved to be effective.

It changed my perspective on Eastern medicine and made me realize that health and well-being are not just found in some magical pill. But rather everything from spirituality and self-awareness all the way to proper diet and excercise all contribute to good health.

I highly recommend this book for all those looking to achieve optimum wellness and are at the same time, prepared to implement its instructions practically.

Reviewed in Canada on February 6, 2013

I ordered 2 books and found the physical conditions of both books to be good quality.
Both had some blemishes and one was fixed with a bit of scotch and the other with an eraser.
The books give very detailed remedies both Chinese and Western. Some are more
practical and others a bit harder to execute. Some basic topics as tonsils and throat were not
covered as those are an issue with me. However on the whole it is a valid and valuable reference
book to have around as I am looking for natural treatment methods.
