Remedies - Aches & Pain

The practical companion for the back, neck, hips, and knees that have started to complain.

8 chapters of gentle, daily practices to ease the ordinary aches of an aging body. Most pain after 50 isn't structural. It's accumulated tightness, weak supporting muscles, and decades of held postures. Patterns respond to attention.

What's inside

The book opens with why these areas hurt after 50. From there: 4 focused chapters on the lower back, the neck and upper back, the hips, and the knees. Each one covers the herbs from Book 1 that help, 5 stretches and exercises that address the pattern, and the daily habits that prevent it from coming back. Then a 12-minute daily routine that pulls the work into something you'll actually do. A recovery chapter on sleep positions, heat and cold, and the role of stress in pain. And a clear-eyed chapter on when pain warrants a doctor, not another stretch.

No equipment. No gym. 12 minutes a day, sustained over weeks, returns range of motion and comfort most readers had stopped expecting.
