5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Reccomended as a reference for Alternative Medicines, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This book, by Anna Selby is the definitive guide for anyone interested in Healing oneself in the "traditional" sense. Long before man discovered writing, the use of Chinese Herbs as a source of medicine and other uses, was widely used throughout modern-day China. This fantastic book describes vividly the ancient "tools" of Chinese Herbalism and how to incorporate them into everyday "modern" life. Filled with amazing facts and refrences concerning this ancient art, Anna Selby cleverly describes how to put this valuable medicinal tool to work for you in the 20th century. Filled with dozens and dozens of illustrations, this valuable book is not only a good refrence to Chinese medicine, but a practical, day-to-day guide on how to incorporate this ancient healing art into your everyday life.
