Description
Improve your overall well-being with Korean wellness practices and traditions that combine mind, spirit, nature, skincare, food as medicine, and natural healing. This comprehensive guide explores holistic concepts and centuries-old healing traditions to help you achieve balance in life. Discover the benefits of Korean wellbeing through sohwakhaeng (small but certain happiness), Kuok Sundo breathing (a form of meditation), and worabel (Korean slang for work-life balance). Learn how to empty your mind with "hitting mung" and find peace in nature through salim yok (forest bathing). Explore the healing properties of foods like kimchi, ginseng, ginger, and green tea. Inside, you'll also learn about Korean skincare techniques, such as seshin, a scrubbing ritual that can help you unwind and detoxify at home. This book shows how to connect nutrition, mental wellbeing, and Korean healing concepts to find true wealth through vibrant health.
