The contemporary crises in the world and our modern lifestyle cause us no end of problems. Body and mind both suffer, and it seems harder than ever to stay healthy and resilient. But natural remedies and complementary medicine can offer help. These approaches investigate the body’s mechanisms of self-healing and how to make use of them. The body's natural healing powers can be found in the most remote corners of every single cell.

In his new book, Prof. Andreas Michalsen explains how complementary medicine can help us stay healthy, both physically and mentally. The most important thing is that we are able to easily implement these approaches in our everyday lives. There are plenty of ways to do it – strength training, fasting, nutrition, improved sleep, using a sauna or ice swimming, medicinal herbal teas, massage, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, meditation, or even just striking the right balance between rest and activity. The goal is always to trigger self-regulation, to allow the body keep itself healthy and to deal with stress and disruption. Health is not something a doctor can prescribe, but we can nurture it – with the power of nature.
