Review: Excellent beginning for Oriental Medicine - I realize enthusiasm among reviewers for this text varies greatly. In the absence of identifying specific flaws, what we write may say more about us at the moment of our reading, than it says the about the text. However, I am personally skeptical about any review written by someone who did not bother to complete the book!!! I had the first edition and admit I did not finish it. That was nearly 2 decades ago. I am not sure whether it was too far a stretch from my western graduate school and medical school education...or that I was just too busy to devote sufficient time and attention combined with an open mind. I now have the 2000 edition. I intentionally approached this time with an open and curious mind -- looking for the bridges between eastern and western concepts of health and illness. Instead of rushing through to condense it into logical, highlighted memory bites, I simply let it wash over me. And during this time I attempted to let my western concepts of how the body works float in a suspended state to be retrieved and integrated at a later time. I found that it provides a detailed but very readable "sky-view" of oriental medicine. It is not intended to provide specific treatment or diagnostic recommendations for an individual patient. Rather it builds the concepts upon which these later efforts can be refined. When you can see the bird's eye view of the terrain from above, its easier to see how cities, trees and rivers relate to each other and then draw your own map. Reading from this perspective I truly enjoyed the book, its artistry and the holistic, natural metaphors connecting the microcosm of the body with the greater world and universe in which we exist. Refreshing!!! I found it to be a wonderful invitation into the world of eastern medicine, whetting a respectful longing to learn more. I'm probably glad I lost the first edition and started over with the newer one. Review: Highly recommend - About halfway through – really good book. Although it is a great overview for someone who isn’t familiar with TCM, it is still a heavy read. If you’re not already familiar with Chinese medicine somewhat, you may have to do a little extra searching here and there to make sure you understand what you’re reading. But I’m not so sure TCM is something that has a simple version, if it does tho this is probably it. Worth reading even if you have no interest in pursuing TCM, shows a whole other world of medical thinking ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,112 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Immune Systems (Books) #14 in History of Medicine (Books) #149 in Alternative Medicine (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 920 Reviews | ## Images ![The Web That Has No Weaver : Understanding Chinese Medicine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f+xT1fUYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent beginning for Oriental Medicine *by Q***X on March 2, 2009* I realize enthusiasm among reviewers for this text varies greatly.

They treat the root cause instead of pushing pills. (Today's doctors, I believe, tell us to take aspirin because our body is lacking it. Eastern medicine has ways to determine if from stress, anger or other reasons. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Web That Has No Weaver : Understanding Chinese Medicine - Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine - The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine: A New Translation of the Neijing Suwen with Commentary --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1375436-the-web-that-has-no-weaver-understanding-chinese-medicine](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1375436-the-web-that-has-no-weaver-understanding-chinese-medicine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
