Traditional Chinese Medicine : The A-Z Guide to Natural Healing from the Orient

Traditional Chinese medicine has existed for thousands of years. It reflects the Eastern philosophical view that time and the universe are cyclical, rather than linear in nature. For this reason, a person's mind, body, and spirit are all interrelated. This book will explain the theories and philosophies behind traditional Chinese medicine, as well as explanations of acupuncture and acupressure, descriptions of Chinese herbal and pulse therapy, a guide to finding a qualified practitioner when professional care is needed, and an A to Z guide of treatments for a multitude of maladies.
