Review

A truly beautiful book about the art of healing. Dr Alexander Joannou generously shares his skills and knowledge with case studies of his own patients. I was particular inspired by his wisdom of the various healing disciplines available whether that be acupuncture, nutrition, medicine or mind body medicine to help heal the patient as a whole.
