Books Back To Eden  by Jethro Kloss (Author)

"Back To Eden" by Jethro Kloss is a comprehensive and classic guide to natural health, herbal medicine, and wholesome living that has influenced the natural foods and wellness movements since its first publication in 1939.

Summary:

The book advocates a holistic lifestyle rooted in plant-based diets, herbal remedies, exercise, fresh air, and harmony with nature’s laws for optimal health and healing.​

Kloss opposes the use of meat, dairy, sugar, spices, and processed foods, promoting instead whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and soy-based products with detailed recipes for various soy foods and natural dishes.​

He extensively covers medicinal plants and herbs—detailing their properties and uses for prevention and treatment of many common illnesses, supported by his personal experiences and historical references.​

The book also includes practical advice on farming, soil preparation, sleep hygiene, natural compresses, benefits of water therapies, and traditional self-care practices.​

It blends scientific knowledge with religious and philosophical perspectives, underscoring a lifestyle in tune with nature as a path back to Eden, or a paradisiacal state of health and well-being.​​

While some of Kloss' recommendations are now considered outdated or too strict, many of his basic health principles and natural healing methods remain respected in holistic and herbal health circles.
