PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
Sun & Ssukgat is a charming, illustrated handbook filled with lessons gleaned from centuries of Korean wisdom and tradition.
For millennia, Korean families have shared wellbeing wisdom with loved ones, like gifted heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, to prevent and treat early illness. The idea is to stop symptoms before they become chronic and perhaps irreversible. Natural, effective, and even environmentally conscious, these solutions quietly and radically shift conventional Western wisdom. This book will take readers on a journey across Korea - from the scenic mountains with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the mermaids of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to elaborate spa and sauna houses for the young and old. Blending together original research, case studies, recipes, ideas, field notes and vignette, Sun & Ssukgat will provide readers with the age-old advice needed to live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.Critic Reviews
Fascinating. Sun & Ssukgat is a fantastic introduction to Korean food and wellbeing ideas for a long and healthy life. -- Beth Kempton, bestselling author of Wabi Sabi
Captivating and amazing. This book is a work of art, and a beautiful love letter to Korean culture, sustainability and the old (and critically important) ways of living. Sun & Ssukgat is ancient wisdom and advice for modern times. A healing balm that will reset your health, your spirit and your relationship with the natural world inside you. If you want to rewild yourself and heal your gut, read Michelle Bang's wise and beautiful book. -- Dr Robynne Chutkan, FASGE, author of The Microbiome Solution and host of The Gutbliss Podcast
