The Whole Truth About Milk

Milk and milk products have been the food staple of mankind since the beginning of recorded history. They are truly the one food source that has allowed us to become civilized and to develop societies as we know them today.

But now, milk has a bad name. Is it the milk itself or is it the way that it is being processed and delivered in this corporate farming world we now live in? Are the problems we see a result of pasteurizing and homogenizing, which are relatively new developments in the history of milk?

A BRIEF REVIEW OF AYURVEDIC CONCEPTS

A BRIEF REVIEW OF AYURVEDIC CONCEPTS
with examples of essential Ayurvedic herbs and useful formulas
by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, OR

Ayurvedic Medicine is one of the major traditional medicine systems of the world, second only to Chinese medicine in terms of the extent to which it is used today. It has influenced Chinese medicine by virtue of the transfer of several herbs native to India to China for incorporation into the Chinese system. Much of that transfer was accomplished over a thousand years ago. Chinese medicine and India's medicine have been combined into Tibetan medicine to help produce yet another major traditional medical system. India's tradition has also combined with that of the Greeks to help form the modern Unani medicine as practiced in Pakistan and surrounding areas.
There is no licensing for the practice of Ayurvedic medicine in the United States (or most other countries outside those where it has been a central part of the healing tradition for centuries). It is provided by health professionals who have studied the subject independently (a few medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists, etc.), or interested persons may obtain herbs and formulas on their own by self-selection of remedies sold in stores or via the internet.

Vacation: Good for Your Health, Good for Your Soul?

By Andrea Useem

Last week I snuck away from work for a few days, taking only one of my three sons with me, and spent a few heavenly days on the eastern tip of Long Island with my brother. Walking by myself on the beach, with a misty spray blowing off the surf, I asked myself: Why do beautiful moments like these feel so satisfying and so necessary in some way?


I needed a few moments like that because my work, as well as my family responsibilities, had begun to feel like constant chores, draining but never restoring me. I was reminded of what a friend once told me: “To breathe out, you must first breathe in.” Returning now to my hyper, child-filled life, I do feel better, fresher, more able to give freely of myself.
