Swedenborg, Mesmer, and the Mind/Body Connection (CB) the Roots of Complementary Medicine: The Roots of Complementary Medicine
ISBN: 9780877853312 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Complementary and alternative healing encompass a wide range of practices that share a common ground: the belief that our physical well-being is inextricably linked to an unseen world beyond our physical senses.
