CULTIVATING YOUR MICROBIOME by Bridgette Shea

It’s common knowledge now how important it is for your health to maintain and cultivate your gut flora, but this is the most comprehensive mainstream book so far on the subject. The benefits are numerous and the health of your gut even has an effect on your brain and overall clear-headedness. Many of us in the west have all sorts of digestive problems to begin with, because of poor diet and self-care. The author is an expert in both Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine and the book is full of practical advice for introducing radiant health, including acupuncture and acupressure, herbal remedies and dietary adjustments you can make. Asian healing techniques have focused for a long time on the vital importance of the digestive system to overall health. This is an easy to understand book yet it still feels challenging and cutting edge.
