Compilation of Ohsawa's writings on health of body and mind.
George Ohsawa byl průkopníkem makrobiotické diety a filozofie, který objevil sílu starověkých principů jang a jang, aby překonal vážné onemocnění ve svém mládí. Jeho hluboké pochopení rovnováhy a harmonie se stalo základem jeho učení. Ohsawa cestoval po Evropě a šířil své myšlenky, čímž položil základy pro globální hnutí. Jeho odkaz spočívá v podpoře holistického přístupu ke zdraví a well-beingu, který nadále inspiruje lidi po celém světě.



Compilation of Ohsawa's writings on health of body and mind.
In 1965 the second edition of Ohsawa's Zen Macrobiotics (first published in mimeographed format in 1960) was prepared and published by Lou Oles of the Ohsawa Foundation in Los Angeles. It contained much more information about soyfoods including Ohsawa Tamari (defined as "macrobiotic soy sauce produced by the traditional, biological, sugarless method," to be used both in cookery and in medicinal drinks), miso, tekka miso, miso cream, miso-ae, miso-ni, muso (miso mixed with sesame butter), tofu, and yuba. Thereafter these soyfoods appeared in virtually all Western macrobiotic cookbooks and cooking classes. The influence of this book can not be underestimated
Ohsawa's account of his 1955 visit to Dr. Albert Schweitzer's hospital in Africa and how he discovers a cure for deadly tropical ulcers followed by his teachings on the physical and mental aspects of disease, the traditional approach to healing versus the symptomatic medicine of today, and the priniciple of the unifying principle of yin and yang--the foundation of macrobiotics.
