Sun and Ssukgat is a charming, illustrated handbook filled with lessons gleaned from centuries of Korean wisdom and tradition.

For millennia, 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 and perhaps irreversible. Natural, effective, and even environmentally conscious, these solutions quietly and radically shift conventional Western wisdom.

This book will take readers on a journey across Korea - from the scenic mountains with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the mermaids of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to elaborate spa and sauna houses for the young and old. Blending together original research, case studies, recipes, ideas, field notes and vignette, Sun and Ssukgat will provide readers with the age-old advice needed to live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
