It is written in a simple way to understand the practice of TCM and will leave you satisfied. I am still reading through it
As a fairly new fan of Chinese Medicine and wellness, this book was exactly what I was looking for. It is written in a simple way to understand the practice of TCM and will leave you satisfied. I am still reading through it, but from what I have already read, I have learned a lot and am very happy with this purchase.

An Introduction
Although I've had acupuncture before, I consider this my introduction to the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine because the practitioners didn't tell me why they were doing what they did or why I couldn't continue to do what I was doing. I received so many answers in hindsight, after reading this informative book. For instance, I've received the following answers:***Why are they taking my pulse in different spots?***What does the liver meridian govern? (mine was out of whack)***Why can't I have my early morning breakfast smoothies?***What's the difference between yin and yang energies?...and so on . . .I think this is a good book for a beginner to read. I wouldn't use it solely for diagnosis - I would definitely leave it to the professionals, but I would keep this in my library for reference for when I see a TCM doctor for a consult/office visit.Also, I did knock this down one star because my professor, who is a practicing acupuncturist, disagreed with the author on a few minor points.

It may be a small book but lots of info
Iโm new to learning about Chinese medicine. This little book is a great start. It gives you basic information on a variety of subjects that you may find yourself researching more in-depth on. Makes a nice gift too for anyone interested in learning Chinese Medicine.

A New Hope :-)
A friend suggested that I try traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).I bought this book and "Using Traditional Chinese Medicine" for an overview of TCM.It's interesting.This is a fat book and has theory as well as practical application."Using Traditional Chinese Medicine" is a thinner, "How To" book.
