Synopsis

Developed over 2,000 years ago, Chinese medicine is a complete medical system that is used to prevent, diagnose, and treat illness, and to encourage good health. Unlike conventional Western medicine, which tends to focus on specific isolated areas of disease, it takes a more holistic, noninvasive approach, emphasizing the interaction of the individual's body, mind, and spirit and its relationship with the environment. Special emphasis is placed on preventative medicine. Illustrated throughout with color photographs, easy-reference charts, and artworks, this is the ultimate manual and reference work on Chinese medicine. This edition includes an introduction by Barbara Bernie, Founder of the American Foundation for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
