Food as Medicine is a unique practical guide to the healing properties of foods and drinks. Internationally recognized acupuncture and herbal medicine specialist Pierre Jean Cousin explains how certain foods not only help prevent certain medical conditions, but in many cases have a relieving or even curative effect on the symptoms of the disease.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines more than 140 foods. It describes the ingredients of each and the specific health problems they have a beneficial effect on.

The second part contains more than 80 common diseases, from the common cold to arthritis and high blood pressure, grouped by body system. For each body system, you will find a list of suitable healing foods, explanations of how food can keep that body system healthy and either eliminate or alleviate problems, as well as a list of diseases with detailed information on which foods to eat and which to avoid.

In the third part, you will find more than 180 healthy and healing recipes.

In addition, the book provides an easy-to-follow four-week detox program to get rid of toxic residues: a plan of healing foods, medicinal drinks, and exercises to cleanse the body's systems and strengthen vitality and health.
