BOOK CLUB IV
Hello readers and friends,
I Hope you are keeping warm and well in the midst of Australian winter.
This time round, book club is focussed on environment and health, two of my greatest passions right now.
My main read is a book on natural fibres and the future of fashion. I absolutely loved the depth of research combined with personal experience Lucianne Tonti has so clearly shared in her new book, Sundressed. Published in Australia and set to be released this August, anyone with a love for nature and fashion will appreciate this one.
Enjoy xx
Sundressed, Lucianne Tonti
In this superbly written book, Lucianne looks beyond sustainable fashion to a future remade by natural fibres. Accessible, engaging and optimistic, she challenges designers, farmers and business to think bigger.
Exploring fibres such as cotton, wool, flax and cashmere, she looks at ancient ways to still create beautiful clothes while improving the environment. With a designers eye for detail and insiders understanding of the market, Lucianne shows us where clothes come from and why it matters.
2. Medical Medium, Cleanse to Heal, Anthony William
I recently attended a workshop in Adelaide that was all based on the famous teachings of medical medium, Anthony Williams. Now everyone around me is celery juicing every morning…
While I’m yet to try it out, I have been getting to know more about his work through this book that offers readers healing plans for sufferers of anxiety, depression, acne, eczema lyme, gut problems, brain fog, weight issues, migraines, bloating, vertigo, psoriasis, cysts, fatigue, pcos, fibroids, uti, endometriosis and autoimmune.
3. Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life, Dr. Claudia Welch
This was one of the first books I read on my Ayurveda journey and one I recommend to any woman wanting to achieve optimal health and wellness through Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and Western Science.
I find it especially great for young girls trying to find balance around their menstrual cycles, hormones and ever-changing moods.
4. Vagbhata’s Astanga Hrdayam
during a recent Ayurvedic consultation, the doctor unexpectedly asked me to return to the ancient Ayurveda texts for the answer to my current health concerns. And there is was:
Decrease of rasa produces dryness, fatigue, emaciation, exhaustion (even without work) and inability to bear noise.
The ancient ayurveda texts are so so old but almost always have the answers you need. If you’re willing to look.
