"You Are All Sanpaku" by George Ohsawa is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of "sanpaku," a term derived from traditional Japanese medicine that refers to the condition where the white of the eye is visible below the iris. According to Ohsawa, this condition is indicative of an imbalance in the body, particularly in the autonomic nervous system, and is associated with various health issues and a lack of overall well-being. The book is divided into three main sections, each focusing on a different aspect of sanpaku. The first section provides an introduction to the concept and its historical and cultural significance, while the second section delves into the physiological and psychological implications of sanpaku. The third and final section offers practical advice for correcting sanpaku and achieving balance in the body and mind. Throughout the book, Ohsawa draws on his extensive knowledge of traditional Japanese medicine, as well as his own personal experiences and observations, to present a compelling case for the importance of addressing sanpaku in order to maintain good health. He also offers a unique perspective on the connection between physical and mental health, arguing that true well-being can only be achieved by addressing both. While some of Ohsawa's ideas and theories may be controversial and not widely accepted in modern medicine, "You Are All Sanpaku" is still a valuable resource for anyone interested in alternative approaches to health and wellness. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it easy for readers of all backgrounds to understand and appreciate the concepts presented. Overall, "You Are All Sanpaku" is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of a little-known concept that has the potential to shed new light on our understanding of health and well-being. Whether you are a practitioner of traditional Japanese medicine, a student of alternative health practices, or simply someone looking to improve your own health and well-being, this book is sure to provide valuable insights and inspiration...
