Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I am looking for easy-to-read books about Traditional , herbal aspects of it, classification of foods, and introduction to meridians. Usually, I order books on Amazon, but on these topics there are too many to choose from. Ideally, I would like to find easy-to read self-help books written in good literary style with real-life stories and historical prospective.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Redwing books has many books available, both for the practitioner and the layperson. ?They do a fairly good job of describing the books also. A good beginner book on Chinese Mdincine in general is the Web that has no weaver by Ted Kaptchuk. ? More specific and awesome sources of information are Giovanni Maciocha's The foundations of , A Manual of Acupuncture by Peter Deadman, and for herbs The Chinese Herbal Medicine Materica Medica and Chinese Herbal Medicine?Formulas and Strategies and for the energetics of foods Healing with Whole foods by Paul Pitchford. ? None of these books are easy reading, ?they are reference books but these are enough to make you realize this is not something you really want to take on without guidance. ?I would recommend that you find a practitioner to see who can then explain the medicine in reference to your particular situation and give you tools that you can use at home to help with the particular imbalances that you often encounter. ? Diagnosis is key, without that it's all guesswork. ?Wishing you the best in health, ?Regina mr75588 <temp10 Chinese Traditional Medicine Wed, Jul 15, 2009 10:48 pm [Chinese Traditional Medicine] Introductory books to Traditional I am looking for easy-to-read books about Traditional , herbal aspects of it, classification of foods, and introduction to meridians.
