Nourishing Wisdom™ To Activate Well Being is a beautifully illustrated wellness guide of over 100 articles and features. It offers insights and practical advice on nutrition, health, personal and societal well-being. Dr. Bauman has gathered insightful and beautifully illustrated pearls of traditional healing practices from diverse cultures, promoting a holistic approach to health building and recovery from chronic disease. The Baumans provide practical empowering ways to reconnect individuals with traditional organic practices for body, mind, spirit and culture supported by the latest evidence-based research.
”If ever there was a time when individuals and communities need to be empowered to look after themselves, each other, and the Earth… that time is now. Global social, political, and environmental upheavals, make grassroots empowerment a pressing necessity. Dr. Bauman’s contribution to the body of scientific knowledge and ancient wisdom is uncanny in its timeliness. Nourishing Wisdom™ is indeed nourishing and rich in wisdom for all in need of both. As health systems sag under the strain of chronic illness and preventable health problems, Nourishing Wisdom™ To Activate Well Being offers us a visually soothing and informative antidote to modern excesses and alienation.”
