Sustainable Health

Ancient healers understood the universe as an interconnected conscious relationship between natural elements. As Western medicine took hold, we lost our sense of intuitive healing and practices. Here, occupational therapist Susan L. Roberts - who also has a degree from Harvard Divinity School - gives us tools for self-care based on the five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine. These elements - fire, earth, wood, metal, and water - can also be linked to contemporary science and the elements of energy, matter, time, and space.

Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy—or eliminate them from our diets altogether.
