diet and nutrition, including sample menus
food combining, and detoxifying the body
specific foods and juices as treatments for a wide range of diseases (including such modern Western concerns as hypertension, cancer, infertility, herpes, and AIDS)
fasting and excretion
breathing exercises
physical exercises for long life, total relaxation, and general health
acupuncture and massage techniques
Taoist birth control
sex therapy
bedroom arts and techniques to ensure complete satisfaction for both partners (considered essential for good health and long life)

meditation turning essence into energy and energy into spirit
With many helpful charts and clear illustrations, The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity makes the ancient "Way" easily accessible to those seeking the latest in New Age health care.
