5.0 out of 5 stars
Right Brained Readers will love this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chinese Way to Health: A Self-Help Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback)
The Chinese Way to Health deals with so many different elements. Beautiful full color photographs showing actual herbs, massage techniques, explaining the maridians of the body and more. This is quite the rererence book for diagnosing problems and determining solutions. Easy to understand diagrams that are cross rererenced by diet, food preperation, massage etc. WHY DO I SAY IT IS FOR RIGHT BRAINED PEOPLE? Simply because I am a person with a very short attention span and find it hard to digest straight text with long explanations. The author has effectively caputured a way to use the visual aids of beautiful full color photography and marry it with the clinical information. Strong logic plays a part in Traditional Chinese Medicine and author, Stephen Gascoigne has conjoined the knowledge of the Ancients with the hunger of my knowledge. I lent out this book to a friend and never got it back. I used it as a reference so much that I have came to Amazon to replace it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great basic guide,
By EricaLynn (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chinese Way to Health: A Self-Help Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback)
This book is exactly what I was looking for. Use the "look inside" option that Amazon offers. It has basics that you can read details on and also has several table charts that help to treat illness very simply. Love it and refer to it often.
