In this ground-breaking book, he describes his pioneering work--combining cutting-edge Western medicine with such Eastern techniques as acupuncture and chi-gong, as well as such controversial therapies as hypnosis, music, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and energy healing....In recounting his patients' experiences, Dr. Oz forges a blueprint for the radical new medicine of the next millennium--drawing on the best from Eastern and Western therapies and empowering patients to become partners with doctors in promoting their own recovery.
Healing from the Heart combines the best of cutting-edge Western medicine with ancient methods of self-healing. Dr. Oz opens the door to an all-encompassing holistic approach to healing that comes from the heart. According to Dr. Oz, the mysteries of this remarkably complex organ extend far beyond the physical. It is the direct link to our emotions, our psychological makeup, and our spirituality, all of which have a profound effect on our natural powers of healing. In this authoritative book Dr. Oz shows how we can help heal ourselves by offering breakthrough insights on the benefits of hypnosis, visual imagery, music, yoga, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, acupuncture, Chinese chi-gong, touch therapies, prayer, and vitamin and dietary supplements. He reveals how, with these complementary treatments to traditional Western medicine, we can transform pre-surgery fear and post-surgical depression into relaxed, positive thinking that nurtures the spirit and actually helps to heal the heart.
