Aesculapius Press

Aesculapius Press was born in 2006 when Patricia published her book The Rape of Innocence -- One Woman's Story of Female Genital Mutilation in the USA, her personal story of circumcision in the 1950s in Kansas.

Now Aesculapius Press is dedicated to producing books on healing. We feel that the best use of our experience, strength and hope is to publish books and tapes that encourage people to reclaim their spiritual birthright -- "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."

Aesculapius was the ancient Greek god of healing. He pioneered the use of simple, natural remedies and the compassionate treatment of mental distress. For that reason, Homer called Aesculapius “the blameless physician.” Aescalapius carried a thick, rough-hewn cypress branch entwined by a single snake. In ancient lore, cypress was the symbol of life after death and comfort in grief. The snake, reborn as it sheds its skin, signifies transformation.

Aesculapius books and tapes invite you deeper into the mysteries of life. They invite you to examine thoughts, feelings and attitudes; consider cause and effect; release fear, stress and disease; to remember who you are, to reclaim your natural, loving, peace of mind, relinquish judgment, and regain robust mental and physical health.

Minds mend.
Bodies heal.
Lives improve.
This is why our books exist.
