L'art de curar és tan vell com el món. Fins fa poc, a les societats rurals, es tractava d'un saber sobre el cos, la ment, la salut, el visible i l'invisible, la vida i la mort, associat a pràctiques i coneixements ancestrals transmesos per via oral. Era majoritàriament el món de les dones. Per treure'ls aquest poder han estat titllades de bruixes. A tot arreu, i a Catalunya també. Als segles XIX i XX amb el desenvolupament de la medicina oficial,hom podia pensar que tot això ja feia part del passat. Però tossudament les tècniques de guarició, pregàries, medicines, receptes, tisanes i altres emplastres s'han transmès de generació a generació. El món silenciat de les llevadores, guaridores, fetilleres, conjuradores...ha assegurat la permanència de l'antiga saviesa al cor mateix de les llars... Sortosament, perquè avui dia, la medicina mateixa sota el nom de medicina alternativa, admet les virtuts de certes pràctiques vingudes dels temps remots i de les societats antigues. Basant-se sobre un llarg treball de terreny (entrevistes de testimonis a la Catalunya del Nord, 1995-2012), sobre les publicacions i els treballs científics anteriors, sobre els conceptes més contemporanis de la medicina, la Maite Barcons Reniu rehabilita tota una part de la cultura nord-catalana a través les pràctiques medicinals populars i tradicionals que ha pogut recollir i catalogar. Posa en evidència el paper de la dona, l'adaptació de les societats als seus temps, la solidaritat de les poblacions de cara als patiments, la pèrdua de la llengua i al mateix temps la pervivència de tradicions i sabers.
La Caraka-Samhita (Collection de Caraka) est le texte fondateur de l'Àyurveda, le plus ancien système de santé conçu en Inde ancienne par les brahmanes sanskrits à l'aube du premier millénaire.
L'Àyurveda, qui aujourd'hui est une médecine douce parallèle à la médecine scientifique, était alors à la recherche de la santé, de la longévité et même de l'immortalité. Loin de chercher à échapper au monde comme les adeptes du Yoga ou du Bouddha, ses concepteurs désiraient la plénitude du corps et de l'esprit dans ce monde-ci. L'Àyurveda des origines est ainsi très éclairant sur la manière dont l'homme était pensé anciennement dans le monde brahmanique.
Certes, la Caraka-Samhita est un ouvrage de médecine ancienne et traditionnelle mais, pour le lecteur contemporain, c'est d'abord une oeuvre où s'exprime fortement la conscience d'une autre humanité.

The real mission of the therapist is to serve. « He imposes nothing, but he is happy to propose: through his knowledge of natural laws, based on observation and confirmed by intuition, he shows to the person seeking his help, how to follow his own path by adapting the physical, biological and mental needs to his own capacities and to his project. It is in love that this mission is made, real and noble love with the purpose to be useful to the other person: useful to his body which must be respected, useful to his mental which must be free, useful to his spirit which must be inspired ». It is in these terms that Gérard Guéniot defined his mission as a therapist.
He was one rare doctor who « dared » to speak about the soul, about the spirit, about the inner being who is in each of us and who has, throughout life, a path to travel and challenges to meet. Isn't human being a whole? Proud and tireless defender of Homeopathy and Acupuncture, he gradually became the promoter of a concept of Natural Medicine. The idea was to synthesize all the existing notions and to unite all the natural practices of health by giving them a common base.
This book is about the simple and elementary, but fundamental aspects, of natural laws which govern the organism and which are necessary to know in order to restore health. Because health depends on these fundamental criteria of functioning, which arise from nature and the simple laws which explain the physiology of the bodies of gross material. To preserve health therefore consists in gathering all the conditions essential for the harmonious functioning of the organism.
This book addresses all the therapists who have « a consciousness of the limits of the current choices and the urgency to change. It does not address the intellect of the reader but rather his intuition which, only, can allow him to know if the developed orientations are real, because the Truth is simple provided that we want to look for it ». And also to the reader « who has the desire to manage his health better and who is conscious that the body is a noble gift which must be protected and maintained in balance ». He will find in this book « the knowledge of the harmonious functioning of the various bodies and the means to take control of his health; that is to be responsible for it ».?
To write an entire book on the subject of buds in phytotherapy may seem a little insane, even presumptuous. However, this challenge has been achieved in order to understand that non-specific original medicines are often the most powerful and least aggressive for humans.
Medicine of the twentieth century has staked everything on ultra specific molecular chemical therapies or genetic manipulations. The more drugs are specific; the more side effects are important and toxic. The new era of the twenty-first century holds the promise of energetic techniques oriented toward quantum physics, among others.
Phytembryotherapy or the therapy of vegetal buds is based on the fundamental principle of using undifferentiated remedies, non aggressive and non toxic; they are all derived from the embryonic tissue of plants.
The different buds used in phytembryotherapy are studied with their actions on the physical, biological and psychological level, according to a classification of plants based on their order of appearance on earth. Then, an original way to use them is presented under the form of complexes.
Men have to learn from trees in the conduct of their lives. If man is interested in the profound nature of the tree, it will in turn, not only by analogy, open the way to his own understanding of human nature, but also always bring us back to ourselves and to the essential! Gemmotherapy, also called "Medicine of the buds" forms a part of phytotherapy still largely unknown to the public due to lack of accessible publications on the subject.
This treatise shows the many similarities between a tree and a human being: embryologic, symbolic and energetic but also physiologic and therapeutic. It summarizes the known medicinal properties of each bud. To do this, a computerized compilation of all the properties mentioned in literature was undertaken based on the reference publications in gemmotherapy.
This computerized tool allows to theoretically associate several buds to determine the most effective combination for the organism. This opens perspectives for the development of integrated gemmotherapy: the combination of different bud extracts with each other, with nutrients and with various extracts.
May this synthesis work contribute to the development of gemmotherapy that will be part of the medicines of the Third Millennium.?
Qualche anno fa, un'emittente privata tedesca mostrò in una trasmissione che, con il Reiki, Christina Aguilera era calata di peso. Questo ha fatto salire alle stelle le richieste per la mia pratica Reiki. Molte persone che avevano provato di tutto, ma ancora non avevano sotto controllo il proprio peso, volevano emulare la star. Nel frattempo, molti dei miei clienti avevano avuto effettivamente successo nel ridurre il loro peso significativamente attraverso la dieta Reiki. La maggior parte di esse è stata anche in grado di mantenere il peso che aveva raggiunto. Questo libro è per coloro che soffrono di obesità e dimostra come possono ridurre il loro peso nel lungo termine. Allo stesso tempo, voglio mostrare questo cammino anche ad altri maestri Reiki. Sono convinta che tu puoi usare questo sistema per aiutare molte persone a raggiungere il proprio peso ideale.

This book on periodontitis is the fruit of the experience of one man, research scientist and dentist, on a quest to discover the bacteria and parasites that colonize the mouth.
Mark Bonner blames the painful ignorance of people suffering from this insidious infection.

It provokes thinking and wins people over with its infectious good spirits and need to convince. This book is straightforward, witty, delectable and spontaneous, and can be read by all with great enthusiasm.

Dominique Baudoux, heredero de la mentalidad oficinal y familiar de varias generaciones de farmacéuticos, abandonó el camino que tenía trazado para centrar su profesión en una ciencia médica natural, de auge y éxito indiscutibles: la aromaterapia.
Desde el primer contacto con esta ciencia, se quedó sorprendido con los potentes efectos de estos activos aromáticos, que recomienda a sus pacientes quienes, a su vez, le sacan muchísimo provecho. Son materia prima bioquímica pero también energética, vibración e incluso información. Es un hecho simple y evidente: los aceites esenciales cuidan y curan cuerpo, mente y espíritu. Tres en uno y las esencias de las plantas aromáticas se convierten en lo más poderoso de la naturaleza, a disposición de todo ser vivo en el planeta Tierra.
Gracias a su amplia experiencia en este ámbito, Dominique Baudoux se ha convertido en un farmacéutico aromatólogo líder mundial en este enfoque no convencional. Presidente de Pranarôm y escritor, Dominique Baudoux imparte conferencias por el mundo entero y nos presenta en esta obra las bases para utilizar de una manera fácil y eficaz esta ciencia milenaria con el fin de poder disfrutar de nuevo de un perfecto estado de salud bañado de fragancias ricas y profundas.
