Customer Reviews

Just a great book !

This book is for anyone who may be skeptical about eastern medical practices, but who may be longing for a better, more holistic view of medicine than is provided by their own western doctor. The book outlines various common ailments and then describes the treatment diagnoses, first from the view of western MD and then from the view of an eastern doctor, without any bias towards either. You are able to learn the strengths and weakness of each method of healing so you can make up your own mind which is better or more effective. Its also a great, easy to understand primer of all the eastern philosopies and terms you've heard of before but not clearly understood like Qi, maintaining balance (yin/Yang), Accupressure, etc... A definite must read for anyone dealing with a chronic illness or who feels like they've reached the limit of what their western doctor can do for them.

Practical and power-packed!
