A Patient's Guide to Chinese Medicine

A Handbook of Herbs and Acupuncture

by Joel Harvey Schreck

Following the path of Asian martial arts, Asian philosophies, and Asian food, Asian herbal medicine is now finding acceptance within our Western culture. This book provides easy entry to the amazing world of Chinese herbs and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  A world which is clearly complementary to, and in some ways, far advanced over our own modern technological  medicine.  

See how your ailment is seen through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). You'll find an alphabetical list of ailments, explaining, in simple terms, how these conditions are understood by TCM practitioners.  There's also information about common herbs and remedies, and explanation of how these remedies work within the logic of traditional Chinese Medicine.
