This contemporary introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine
(TCM) is written in a lively and lucid way for the general reader
interested in holistic healing and internal harmony. It also
explains TCM to the Western physician: medical concepts are
presented in a way that does not conflict with knowledge of
biomedicine, helping them appreciate TCM as complementary
healthcare.Beginning with an outline of fundamental entities qi,
blood and essence, the book then expounds TCM models of yin yang,
the five elements and TCM syndromes that form the basis of
diagnosis and therapy. Delightful chapters on the healing wonders
of herbs and recipes come with instructions for preparing delicious
food and teas. Explanations of acupuncture, chronic disease
management and yangsheng (life cultivation) enlighten with simple
yet profound ideas underlying this ancient science. They reveal how
TCM retains an irreplaceable role in healthcare despite impressive
advances in modern medicine.The materials in the book have been
used in well-received public courses in Chinese medicine that the
authors have taught for over a decade.
