Chinese Medicine
By Shen Ziyin and Chen Zelin. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 256 pages, paperback.
The two thousand year old discipline of traditional Chinese medicine has
much to offer those with an interest in the healing arts. This comprehensive
survey includes all the essentials: History, concepts of yin and yang, five
elements, internal organs, cause of disease, diagnostic methods, and principles
of treatment, including traditional herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion,
tui-na massage therapy, and qigong breath therapy. The authors are both
professors at Shanghai Medical University. |
