Resources For Life
The modern world wages a quiet war on our health, while medicine drowns in its own denials. After twenty-five years observing and learning from practitioners across Asia, California, and the UK, we’ve uncovered simple, time-tested truths about staying well. Wellbeing isn’t a trend to chase. It’s a discipline to honour. Some ancient paths remain unbeaten. Perhaps the wisest act of healing is subtraction: less poison, less pretense. Quit the cigarettes, temper the drink, forgo the chemical crutches, abandon the factory-made food, and question the lifestyle that leaves you ill at ease.

Roots & Remedies - Build Your Own Health Toolkit
Roots & Remedies Build Your Own Health Toolkit Before You Need It We're already into Autumn and the seasons have gently changed direction, bringing about warmer fashions, lower temperatures, and shorter daylight hours. The leaves know it's time to change colour, late-season fruits are ripening, birds getting ready to fly south and hibernating animals are feeding heartily for the long sleep ahead.

READ POSTRoots & Remedies - Shoes & Headaches
Roots & Remedies For How Long Have Your Shoes Been Causing Your Headaches? We spend a small fortune putting our feet into shoes designed to make them look elegant, fashionable or vaguely respectable.

READ POSTRoots & Remedies - How Much Sugar Is Hiding In Your Food?

Similar patterns are claimed across ancient settlements - from Neolithic Orkney and Bronze Age Dartmoor to the Adena and Hopewell sites of North America and Inca settlements high in the Andes. Perhaps these ancient peoples understood something we have forgotten: that...
