Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This manual is intended as a resource for students and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Qi Gong as well as for the general reader. The book details the energetic properties of around 300 common foods, and explains the principles of Chinese medicine and how to apply them for daily use. This manual encourages the reader to know their own body, in order to help themselves and get the best out of the information provided. "Helping Ourselves" is not designed as a quick-fix or dietary revolution, but is intended as a supplement to, rather than a substitute for, skilled professional guidance. This book can be read alone or as an accompaniment to "Recipes for Self-Healing" and "The Energetics of Food".

5.0 out of 5 stars Know what foods to eat..., December 29, 2003

By	Michael J. Armijo (Marina Del Rey, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this easy to read book to anyone who needs to determine the types of foods they should be eating to find balance in their lives. It's a great book. I had the fortune to get this book as a gift from my longtime friend, Barbara Louise Reynolds, in Berkeley, CA. Thank you Barbara!
