| Abstract

:
|
"Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, qigong, tui na massage and diet therapy have been used by the Chinese for over 2,000 years, and they are still the treatments of choice for millions of people throughout the East. Now, despite the availability of Western medicine, Westerners are becoming aware of the many benefits of these potent therapies and the popularity of Chinese medicine is spreading rapidly." "This introductory guide contains the basic theory of Chinese medicine, an account of traditional Chinese diagnosis and each of the five therapies, patients' first-hand accounts of their treatment, and basic advice on finding a practitioner."--Jacket.
