This review is from: Macrobiotics and Oriental Medicine: An Introduction to Holistic Health (Paperback)
The perfect blend of the spiritual and the practical, this book illuminates so many topics previously mysterious to me, such as traditional Oriental versus Western (Occidental) medicine; yin and yang (an incredibly comprehensive explanation of these concepts and why they should matter to every human being, no matter what their spiritual perspective); plus an array of what are unfortunately still considered "alternative" medical treatments, like acupuncture, palm healing, and shiatsu, and many simple self-treatments (sound therapy through the use of basic breathing/"chanting" techniques; stretches for stimulating stagnating organs). It's a whole body/mind/universe view that helps us understand the profound connectedness of "in here" and "out there" in terms of energy (ki, chi). A wonderful overview book to serve as a springboard for discovering topics for further exploration, but still full of immediately usable information without further reading.
