Gender and Sexuality in Chinese Medicine (Hardcover): Catherine J. Lumenello M.Ac Gender and Sexuality in Chinese Medicine (Hardcover)
Catherine J. Lumenello M.Ac
R1,400 Discovery Miles 14 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This progressive handbook for Chinese medicine students and practitioners looks at gender, physiology, relationships and sexual attraction from the Chinese medicine perspective. Many standard diagnostic and treatment techniques are gender-based and do not work with clients who identify as LGBT or gender/sex/relationship fluid and so these communities are currently often underserved. Catherine Lumenello accesses the Daoist, Buddhist and Confucianist roots of the medicine and explores the energetic pathways, the Three Treasures and other theories in order to understand the emotional etiology and treatment concerns prevalent within these client groups. The topics covered in the book include transgender issues, asexuality, sex addiction, sexual realignment surgery and polyamory. Incorporating client examples, illustrations, and an assortment of treatment approaches, this book is a radical re-examination of the potential of Chinese medicine.

Patterns of Practice - Mastering the Art of Five Element Acupuncture (Paperback): Nora Franglen Patterns of Practice - Mastering the Art of Five Element Acupuncture (Paperback)
Nora Franglen
R539 Discovery Miles 5 390 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Rather than simply a different version of western medical practice, acupuncture, as the author of this thoughtful and challenging book shows, is based on a different philosophy and leads down directly into the deepest areas of human experience. Based on many years as a five element practitioner, Nora Franglen explores the way in which the practice of acupuncture enlarges the experience and understanding of the practitioner. She shares, through case study and reflection, some of the larger questions and insights that emerge from a dedicated approach to this form of healing work.

Life Pulse Massage - Taoist Techniques for Enhanced Circulation and Detoxification (Paperback): Mantak Chia, Aisha Sieburth Life Pulse Massage - Taoist Techniques for Enhanced Circulation and Detoxification (Paperback)
Mantak Chia, Aisha Sieburth
R526 Discovery Miles 5 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Blood and chi often flow side by side throughout the body, the blood acting as the vehicle for our vital energy. Areas of slow or congested circulation lead to blockages in the flow of vital energy and toxin accumulation in the body. The practice of Life Pulse Massage allows these blockages to be cleared, revitalizing cardiovascular function, detoxifying the organs, and restoring the flow of blood and chi throughout the body. In this fully illustrated guide to Life Pulse Massage, Master Mantak Chia details abdominal massage practices to open restricted blood vessels, direct blood flow to specific areas for healing, release arterial tension to rebalance high or low blood pressure, and detoxify individual organs and body systems such as the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and colon. He shows how to clear and activate the master pulses of the navel and aorta and synchronize these master pulses with the 52 pulses of the whole body for optimum circulation and energy balance. He explains the ancient art of reading pulses to diagnose organ health as well as how to recognize internal health states through the unique positions and shapes of the navel. Detailing specific Life Pulse Massage treatments for many common ailments such as lower back pain, sciatica, asthma, headaches, and reproductive issues, Master Chia shows how liberating the flow of blood and chi can prevent illness before it takes hold, revitalize the organs, and set the stage for optimum health.

This is an unpublished work regarding its contents, as it systematically integrates the therapeutic applications of the points contained into the twelve Main Acupuncture Meridians. The purpose of this work is to enunciate in detail the meaning and significance of translation of each point; its anatomic location and topographical references, and their known functions and therapeutic uses. In terms of applications, there appears the most complete list of pathological conditions -- according to Western medicine, equivalent Oriental diagnosis, and a thorough analysis of the relationships between functions and actions ruled by Traditional Chinese Medical principles. This well-integrated systematic compilation of quoted knowledge includes author's investigations on sudden death, heart failure and other medical issues. A new concept into Chinese Medical criteria is raised up hitherto absent in actual specialty treatises. I make reference to the Antidote points -- keys that allow reversing adverse or collateral effects complicating Acupuncture therapy. Except specific sources derived from Martial Arts -- properly referenced and recommended in this book -- there are no records of publications related to reversal of undesirable side effects for medical purposes. This book also includes numerous anatomical dissections that reveal puncture risk areas in major anatomical regions.

Livia Kohn
R883 R700 Discovery Miles 7 000 Save R183 (21%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Daoyin, the traditional Chinese practice of guiding the qi and stretching the body is the forerunner of Qigong, the modern form of exercise that has swept through China and is making increasing inroads in the West. Like other Asian body practices, Daoyin focuses on the body as the main vehicle of attainment; views health and spiritual transformation as one continuum leading to perfection or self-realization; and works intensely and consciously with the breath and with the conscious guiding of internal energies. This book explores the different forms of Daoyin in historical sequence, beginning with the early medical manuscripts of the Han dynasty, then moving into its religious adaptation in Highest Clarity Daoism. After examining the medieval Daoyin Scripture and ways of integrating the practice into Tang Daoist immortality, the work outlines late imperial forms and describes the transformation of the practice in the modern world. Presenting a rich crop of specific exercises together with historical context and comparative insights, Chinese Healing Exercises is valuable for both specialists and general readers. It provides historical depth and opens concrete details of an important but as yet little-known health practice.

Bridie Andrews
R799 Discovery Miles 7 990 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Medical care in nineteenth-century China was spectacularly pluralistic: herbalists, shamans, bone-setters, midwives, priests, and a few medical missionaries from the West all competed for patients. This book examines the dichotomy between "Western" and "Chinese" medicine, showing how it has been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more "scientific" by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. Andrews challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how "traditional" Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.
