Behind the acupuncture, herbal remedies and sophisticated diagnostics of Chinese medicine lies a “congenial system of healing that embodies unification of body and mind, spirit and matter, nature and man, philosophy and reality.” In this comprehensive and ground-breaking presentation, based on long experience as physician, psychiatrist, and practitioner of Chinese medicine, Leon Hammer offers a new model for appreciating the traditional healer’s effective and profound respect for individual integrity and energetic balance. Explaining, and moving beyond, the five phase (element) system, he shows that this Eastern practice is as much a spiritual science as a physical one.

Accessible to the layman, yet a resource for the professional in any healing art, this book examines the natural energy functions of the human organism as a key to mental, emotional and spiritual health. It offers new insight into disease, showing how it is not merely an invasion from the outside, but rather a byproduct of a person’s unsuccessful attempt to restore one’s own balance.

Effective cleaning concentrate!
Scent: Basil, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I put this product to the test as soon as it was delivered by using it on my bathroom floor ans kitchen floor. We have two boys, ages 2 and 3, and we have a dog and 2 cats. We are in and out of our house constantly and our floors take a beating! This multi surface purpose cleaner concentrate was put to the perfect test! This cleaner worked really well. It cleaned the dirt and filth off my floors and left them feeling and looking clean. The basil smell is very pleasant. It's a light, fresh, clean smell. Not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way! It's still a gentle cleaner that packs big cleaning power! I was very impressed with how well and effortlessly it cleaned and the smell it left afterwards was a plus!

Hmmmm Rose scent is HEAVENLY!
Scent: Rose, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried soaps, air fresheners, cleaners, laundry scents from this brand, and from Fresh cut grass, Honeysuckle, Dandelion, Peony, and Rose scents, the last 3 are the absolute winners!! Rose is the latest one I’ve tried and Im in loooooove!! Makes cleaning actually pleasant! 😂 It’s very much like a Rose essential oil scent you get from Aura Cacia if you ever tried. But basically it’s fantastic, not cheap old rose imitation perfume smell. So soft and heavenly! Not sure about its effectiveness in terms of killing germs, but it leaves no sticky or oily residue. I spray it on countertops, mop the floor with it. One day I was lying on the floor with my legs up and wondering what smelled so wonderful… Then I realized it was the Rose scent from the cleaner. I still use Chlorox products for bathroom sinks, tubs, toilets. But Rose is absolutely delicious! Mr Meyers, please bring Rose and Peony as laundry scent boosters!

I’m a fan of Mrs. Meyers’ Clean Day
Scent: Apple Cider, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have used Mrs. Meyers Clean Day for years! For me, it works great on my final wipe down, and it leaves a nice fresh scent that fills the room. I really like the Apple Cider scent and I was very happy to see it available in a 3-pack. It is easy to use and does not leave a residue, because I buff the surface with a dry towel after I wipe off the product.

Lovely!
Scent: Rose, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Beautiful floral scent. I am very sensitive to strong scents. This spray does not irritate my nose and smells light, like fresh flowers. It does a great job cleaning my counters and leaving them sparkling!
