2.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro to Chinese Medicine, January 4, 2003

"ceres_r" (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Book of Chinese Health Balls: Background and Use of the Health Balls (Paperback)

I initially purchased this book because I was looking for a kind of guide to using Chinese Exercise Balls 101. Aside from the occasional typo found in the book Ab Williams writes a rather amateurish introduction to Chinese medicine beginning with Taoism, Yin & Yang, the various meridians found along the physiological plain and concludes with a short blurb about use of and benefits of the exercise balls. The last third of the book is devoted to pushing various authors titles in all things eastern medicine oriented. You could probably find a more detailed book for less money at a used book shop but for my purposes I gave this particular title two stars.

This review is from: The Complete Book of Chinese Health Balls: Background and Use of the Health Balls (Paperback)

I should have ordered this book years ago. The information in this book answered all my questions and gave me a detailed history and purpose of the Health Balls. I have been a guitarist for over thirty years and highly recommend this book with the use of any type of chinese health balls.
