DESCRIPTION

The Korean Art of Self-Care, Wellness & Longevity
A practical, charming guide to wellbeing that draws on ancient Korean traditions and wellbeing rituals

A charming guide to living a longer, happier, healthier life, rooted in Korean self-care

For centuries, Korean families have shared wellbeing wisdom with loved ones, like gifted heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, to prevent and treat early illness. The idea is to stop symptoms before they become chronic, taking inspiration from the ssukgat, or chrysanthemum greens, that are treasured in Korean culture for their ability to heal. Natural, effective, and environmentally conscious, these solutions quietly and radically shift conventional Western thought.

Eco-entrepreneur Michelle Jungmin Bang takes readers on a journey across Korea - from scenic mountains with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the haenyeo divers of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to the much-loved, bustling bathhouses for young and old. Reflecting on how we can live sustainably and reconnect with nature, Michelle offers insight into Korean cultural concepts like jeong, the connection linking loved ones and places, and shares delicious, nourishing recipes inspired by her grandmother's kitchen.

Blending travel, experience, research, recipes and Michelle's beautiful illustrations, Sun & Ssukgat will empower readers with the age-old advice needed to escape the whirlwind of modern life and embrace a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
