Practical Traditional Chinese Medicine

Description

This book meets the needs of Western doctors who do not have knowledge of Chinese but wish to study Chinese medicine. It covers basic theories and major therapeutic measures, i. e. herbal medication and acupuncture. The diseases discussed are mainly those for which Western medical treatment is either not effective or is likely to produce serious side effects but where Chinese medicine may produce a better result. The therapeutic methods have been carefully selected and are practical and easy to apply.
