- fasting and excretion
- breathing exercises
- physical exercises for long life, total relaxation, and general health
- acupuncture and massage techniques
- Taoist birth control
- sex therapy
- bedroom arts and techniques to ensure complete satisfaction for both partners (considered essential for good health and long life)

- meditation -- turning essence into energy and energy into spirit
With many helpful charts and clear illustrations, The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity makes the ancient "Way" easily accessible to those seeking the latest in New Age health care.
