Reknown Chinese herbalists Shen Ziyin and Chen Zelin have beutifully outlined the processing and applications of many Chinese medicinal herbs. Also includes a lot of information on applying accupuncture (worth the price of the book by itself). Contains many of the health promoting Qui Gong relaxation methods and exercises. Both authors have won many awards for scientific achievement in human organ research.

The most glaring error is to say Ch'i Kung is contra-indicated for psychiatric diseases. Having treated several thousand patients I can safely say that not only is this nonsense, but it is often the best possible treatment for psych. diseases.
