Chinese Medicine Chinese Medicine


In the ancient tradition of Chinese medicine, illness is a disharmony of the whole body. The aim is to restore harmony through herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and the diagnostic skills of the physician. The governing principle is to balance Yin and Yang and to restore the interconnections between all aspects of the organism.

This remarkable book explains the theory and practice of Chinese medicine. The author Ted J. Kaptchuk gained his doctorate in Oriental Medicine from the Macau Institute of Chinese Medicine in 1975. Now associate director of the Center for Alternative Medicine Research and Education at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, he is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
