Using her intelligent blend of East and West traditions, Sonnenschmidt examines the psycho-spiritual and physical influence of our lungs and respiratory system on our general health and vitality.
Negative Emotions such as grief and guilt are respiratory issues, and on a physical level malfunction may be associated with constipation and hip problems.
She discusses the importance of breathwork, linking it in with that most vital and often disregarded organ, the diaphragm - and the threefold breath via the diaphragms of the pelvis, abdomen and skull. Homeopathic remedies, exercises, diet and supplements are explored and described in detail.
A practical as well as a fascinating guide for anyone interested in the general subject, or  for the homeopathic practitioner in particular.
