In Z'ev Rosenberg's second book, the scholar-physician shares his insights from his study of discrimination of movement in the vessels in the Nan Jing. This book provides an accessible window into the world of classic vessel discrimination, and a deep explanation of the Nan Jing as well as advising how it can inform modern clinical practice. The first chapters of the Nan Jing examine the parameters of depth, length, qualities, five phase relationships, viscera/bowel, channel/network vessel and season. Ripples in the Flow is designed as a compendium text that provides a commentary on these essential vessel discrimination chapters, as a teaching text, and as a clinical manual for practitioners of both acupuncture and herbal medicine. It will be especially useful for practitioners of five phase approaches to Chinese and Asian medical systems, as it will provide clear classical references for the knowledge that they have been taught in their formal training.

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.

This is an unpublished work regarding its contents, as it systematically integrates the therapeutic applications of the points contained into the twelve Main Acupuncture Meridians.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.

Chinese medicine has a rich history that has only been made more complex by its integration with `Western' biomedicine. Legitimization of Chinese medicine in biomedicine-dominated health systems, such as that in Hong Kong, has posed significant issues. This anthology of articles explores relevant social issues related to various Chinese medicine treatments, including acupuncture and medicinal oils, as well as insight into practitioner licensing and public perception. Each chapter tackles a topic related to the complicated process of legitimizing knowledge and power within a specific social and historical context. Written by professors and researchers with extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine, government regulation, and sociology, this collection provides an overview of the challenges and current social context of Chinese medicine that affect students and practitioners of Chinese medicine, health and para-health biomedical professionals, and patients alike. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the first book in the Mediated Health Series, which focuses on the effects of media, lifestyle, doctor-patient communication, and the economy on health and aims to help inform medical decisions and enhance the wellbeing of individuals.
