Bestselling author Dr. Josh Axe explains how to treat more than seventy diseases, lose weight, and increase vitality with traditional healing practices passed down through the ages. “Engaging, accessible and comprehensive” (Amy Myers, MD, author of The Autoimmune Solution)
Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we’ve become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction and over-prescribing—and they’re desperate for an alternative.
Here’s the good news: That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Greek medicine. Ancient Remedies is the first comprehensive layman’s guide that will bring together and explain to the masses the very best of these time-tested practices.
In Ancient Remedies, Dr. Axe explores the foundational concepts of ancient healing—eating right for your type and living in sync with your circadian clock. Readers will learn how traditional practitioners identified the root cause of each patient’s illness, then treated it with medicinal herbs, mushrooms, CBD, essential oils, and restorative mind-body practices. What’s more, they’ll discover how they can use these ancient treatments themselves to cope with dozens of diseases, from ADHD to diabetes, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, and beyond.
Through engaging language and accessible explanations, Ancient Remedies teaches readers everything they need to know about getting, and staying, healthy—without toxic, costly synthetic drugs.

A Reader –
Thank you, Dr. Axe!
This is an excellent book. I’m interested in all of the things that Dr. Axe discusses in this book. This book has a wealth of information on subjects that relate to health. After reading the book, I decided to visit an acupuncturist for the first time in my life. I had developed a cough that wouldn’t go away. I coughed all through the day and most of the nights. I didn’t want to take an antibiotic or any pharmaceutical drug because of the side effects. So after coughing for three months, and after reading this book, I got an appointment with a Chinese acupuncture place. I am feeling so much better now. I had six sessions with acupuncture and cupping. I’m also learning about essential oils, and I bought a diffuser, which helps. I have Lavender drops in it now. Dr. Axe recommended for lung problems like I have to take some Eucalyptus essential oil and mix it with a carrier oil, like coconut oil, and rub it on my chest and the back of my neck. This really helps. I’m trying some of the herbs that Dr. Axe recommends in his book, and they are helping, too.I prefer to keep away from pharmaceutical drugs if possible, and I plan on getting some CBD oil when I can find a good store. I had cancer and a bilateral masectomy last fall. I’ve always been healthy, or so I thought. None of my doctors talked to me about strengthening my immune system, or how to go about doing it. There is so much helpful information in this book about how to strengthen my immune system, and also, information that helps me to understand more about cancer.I really appreciate Dr. Axe taking the time to write this book and make all this information available to the average person. I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant Book
This is such a fascinating book about ancient remedies that have been around for thousands of years. Heavily backed up with research, this book points out so many aspects of our health (not just physical) that I hadnât considered. For instance, Dr. Axe cites that high levels of optimism increase longevity by 11-15%, then provides daily practices to aid in optimistic thoughts and perspectives. Though this book is non-fiction and about health, it is certainly not dry or boring and I canât put it down. Iâve opened it up after my morning prayer and Bible time each morning!I so appreciate Dr. Axe for writing this, and though I purchased this book only a month ago, Iâve begun practicing many of his suggestions for various health ailments and already can feel a change in my health. God has surely sent Josh Axe as an amazing healer and I am grateful for him!

Had to get my own copy
I borrow my books from my local library and this title I leafed through in one sitting that knew I needed my own copy. It has good recipes and tidbits that I can refer to as I improve my eating habits for all around well being.

10/10!
I just got this book yesterday and started reading it right away. Itâs SO GOOD! I began highlighting and underlining because thereâs so much essential information in this book. Every page is chalk-full of insight, research, natural remedies for healing all kinds of ailments and diseases, and provides a new way of thinking about health and healing. Such a great resource!

Full of great information
This book is filled with natural health information in easy to understand language. I would recommend it to anyone especially those who have health issues and would like to try a natural approach to their health before conventional medication.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!!!I am only half way through and what Iâve read so far is just so enlightening and truly amazing. I am a great believer in using food as medicine (I am in remission from bowel cancer). Itâs well laid out, easy to read and just full of so much knowledge. It teaches you that you donât need to reach for a pill every time you have an ailment, or go to the doctor. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the basis upon which this book is written. I would recommend everyone to read this book, and I have recommended it already to several friends. You will come away with so much knowledge.
