Holistic Anatomy by Pip Waller

Holistic Anatomy by Pip Waller

An engaging and accessible exploration of human anatomy, physiology, and pathology-through a holistic lens

Complementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine have become increasingly widespread as the limits of conventional treatments become more apparent. Holistic Anatomy presents an authoritative study of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, but it expands the discussion by connecting the science of the body to a variety of alternative modalities to explore how human beings exist within-and interact with-their environment, and how they experience existence in emotional and spiritual terms.

Author and massage therapist Pip Waller interweaves basic scientific terminology and detailed descriptions with informal-and sometimes humorous-observations, facts, and ideas about life. The mechanisms, structure, and functions of the body are explored, along with how they relate to spiritual and energetic paradigms, emotions, and ecological principles. The first half of the book covers basic anatomy and physiology, describing each major system of the body and how they interrelate. This part includes a thoughtful discussion of aging and the dying process. The second half focuses on models of health and disease, both traditional and holistic. Topics include western pathology, emotional health, five element medicine, and the spiritual cause for disease.

Holistic Anatomy - An Integrated Guide to the Human Body (North Atlantic Books, 2011), The Domestic Alchemist (North Atlantic Books, 2015), and The Health and Beauty Botanical Handbook (Leaping Hare Press, 2017) are among Pip's works.
