I like the simplicity of style in this book. Also I notice is well research into the traditional ways of China. You can learn food cures almost for every symptom you now, or if you prefer to learn Chinese diagnosis, go to the Treatment of Common Diseases chapter. There is a chapter on Tai Chi, that explains each exercise and its benefits. Keep it close, this is no novel, you can read and discard. It makes a good companion to Dr. Maoshing Ni "Tao of Nutrition" and to the abundant books by Bob Flaws on Nutrition.

This book is the type that is good if you want a quick and easy reference. If you want to get very in depth in the theory and philosophy, I would recommend others. This guide offers many suggested remedies for various problems and reminds me of one of those herbal remedies from home books. However, the information is helpful and will definitely give you a nice introduction to Chinese medicine as well as a reference guide to explain and try out some alternative remedies for ailments and even an exercise guide. Overall, if you are interested in the subject, I would recommend you add this book to your library.

This book does have information that herbalists will appreciate. I keep it as a reference resource and would recommend it.

I was impressed that this book includes exercises for health and longevity - the even include the eight pieces of brocade. I have not finished going through it yet, but am sure it will be a great reference for years to come.

very informative about TCM. a very good companion book with another book "the way of chinese herbs by michael tierra LAc, OMD"

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read and understand. It clearly shows the comparison between eastern and western medicine. If you are looking for a natural way to heal the body , this is the book for you!

Not to be read but used as a reference. Good addition to my chinese medicine libray
