"Seven Peppercorns" covers the vast scope of traditional Thai
medicine practices including: Thai element theory, physical
therapies, medical Buddhism, herbal medicine for massage,
divinatory practices, and spirit medicine; all held within the
context of a Thai bodyworker's instructional manual. This is not
another step-by-step Thai massage photographic sequence book, but
rather an in-depth training in the theory behind the steps, with
instruction in a wide range of esoteric Thai physical therapies
designed to bring practical understanding of Thai bodywork as it is
practiced by traditional doctors in Thailand. "Seven Peppercorns"
is divided into twelve main segments; each segment containing
several chapters. The organizational flow takes the reader from
introduction, overview and history, through an understanding of
Thai anatomy, including element, point, and sen line theory, to
instruction in Thai diagnosis, actual physical manipulations and
practical application of the shamanistic and Buddhist components of
traditional Thai medicine as it applies to bodywork; all in an
easy-to-follow well organized format. Included in this guide are
Thai self care practices and exercises as well as treatment
guidelines for specific disorders. "Seven Peppercorns" serves as
both an instruction manual and a reference book fully annotated
with appendixes, notes, glossary, bibliography and index. The
straightforward academic informational writing is gentled with
moments of conversational author-to-reader comments (often
humorous), and peppered with short personal narrative stories that
bring the reader into the sensory tapestry of Thailand. It is
intended as a stand alone manual, or as a text book for Thai
massage instructors to use in classes.
