lists of recommended foods and foods to avoid are supplemented by
advice on appropriate acupuncture treatments. The third edition has
been expanded with chapters covering allergies, food sensitivities,
dietary support in oncologic cases, fasting, "superfoods," and
smoothies. Where appropriate, bridges have been constructed between
the paradigms of TCM and those of contemporary scientific medicine.

This encyclopedic Ming-dynasty work on acupuncture and moxibustion
lays out the fundamental theories of classical Chinese medicine
that the author expands on and enriches with his personal clinical
experience.
Chinese Medicine constantly refers back to its sources in order to
initiate the new. Its source code is in the Han Dynasty medical
classics, and in this handbook esteemed practitioner and educator
Professor Z'ev Rosenberg shares the knowledge from his study of
these classic texts and his experiences treating difficult cases.
In the tradition of the scholar-physician commentaries, Z'ev
Rosenberg comments on the Simple Questions that introduce the core
principles of the Inner Canon; explaining how these inform his
methodology of diagnosis and advising on how biomedical diseases
can be retranslated into sophisticated Chinese medical diagnoses
including patterns of differentiation, sequential diagnosis,
synchronicity, season, climate and environment. He discusses how
Chinese medicine can use unique diagnostic parameters to rebalance
the landscape and chronobiology of the body and address the
greatest clinical challenges of our time, including the
contemporary epidemic of autoimmune disorders.
The Formulas of the Golden Cabinet with Songs is a nineteenth
century commentary by Chen Xiuyuan on the Jin Gui Jao Lue
(Essentials from the Golden Cabinet), the famous Han dynasty
formulary and companion volume to the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on
Cold Damage) by Zhang Zhongjing. Translated by Sabine Wilms to the
highest academic standards and yet eminently readable and intended
for clinical application, the present volume discusses the first
100 formulas contained in the Han source text. To explain the
internal logic of the formulas, interaction of medicinals, and
precise clinical indications, the author quotes a selection of
commentators and physicians throughout the ages while also stating
his own understanding. Beginning with a full translation of the Jin
Gui source text, each entry appears as its own vignette that
includes indications and associated symptoms, formula ingredients
(converted into modern measurements), instructions for preparation,
and commentary. The present edition is bilingual in Chinese and
English. To increase clinical applicability, we have also included
brief modern monographs for each formula in the appendix. An
extensive 324-page book, this is a must-have for all Jingui lovers
out there.
