Book Review: Abundantly Well The Complementary Integrated Medicine Revolution

 

I was recently lucky enough to receive a review copy of Susun S Weed's newest book "Abundantly Well The Complementary Integrated Medicine Revolution"

Here's what I thought

 

Finally a road map to navigating medical issues and feeling empowered through out the process whether the issue is minor or life threatening. Abundantly Well The Complementary Integrated Medicinel Revolution book by Susun Weed is accessible and useful to everyone whether a seasoned herbalist, or a novice to holistic healing. 

This is Susun Weed’s 7th book in the Wise Woman Way series which has spanned 30 years. In her previous books and teachings Susun has outlined the Wise Woman Tradition and the Six Steps of healing, now this volume adds detail and understanding to what has become the Seven Medicines (Steps 0-3, Serenity Medicine, Story Medicine, Mind Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, Steps 4-6, Alternative Medicine, Pharmaceutical Medicine. and Deep Medicine.) Each chapter is filled with research, references, stories and practices. These Medicines, steps of healing form a path for navigating ones health care and beyond. They provide a framework or foundation for building a practice and protocol. The system is truly holistic and vast not limited to physical health but to addressing mental and spiritual health, the invisible as well as the visible. It also shows that there is not one clear straight path to abundant health, but everyone has the capability to create the path that is right for them starting exactly where they are at. It is the first book i have come across in which pharmaceuticals and alternatives are compared side by side- truly integrated medicine. 

It’s taken Susun thirty years to publish this book, her concepts and words now backed by scientific studies. When this book is released in October 2019 I recommend you buy yourself a copy as well as one for a loved one. It is not a book that will just sit of your shelf.
