A guide to a longer, happier, and healthier life based on Korean self-care. For centuries, Korean families have shared wellness wisdom with their loved ones to prevent and treat early illnesses. The idea is to stop symptoms before they become chronic, inspired by ssukgat, or chrysanthemums, which are valued in Korean culture for their healing abilities. Natural and effective solutions that challenge conventional Western thinking. Eco-entrepreneur Michelle Jungmin Bang takes readers on a journey to Korea—from the picturesque mountainous areas with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the haenyeo women divers of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to bustling baths for young and old. Reflecting on how we can live sustainably and reconnect with nature, Michelle offers insights into Korean cultural concepts such as jeong, the connection that binds loved ones and places, and shares delicious, nutritious recipes inspired by her grandmother's kitchen. Combining travel, experience, research, recipes, and Michelle's beautiful illustrations, Sun & Ssukgat will empower readers with the wise advice they need to escape the whirlwind of modern life and embrace a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
