In his busy practice in Paris, Dr. Saldmann noticed that patients tended to expect medication alone to do the work of healing, overlooking the powerful tools that they already had to improve their health. Often you are the best medicine, and you can effectively treat a considerable number of symptoms and common illnesses without medication. And, more importantly, by addressing the cause and the effect of an illness, you can dramatically reduce recurrences. From simple daily lifestyle changes such as eating chocolate in the morning to pressure-point therapies for everyday care, Dr. Saldmann shows how you can improve your health, protect against disease and lead a happier life.

You will learn:

how washing your hands helps your mood;
why hitting snooze on your alarm makes you tired;
how pistachios boost your libido;
simple acupressure tricks to relieve cramps, congestion and other acute conditions;
how some natural products, including dark chocolate, help you lose weight;
