A concise introduction to traditional Chinese medical concepts

Presented as a bridge for Western audiences, this volume gathers core concepts from a medical tradition documented over four millennia. It introduces the yin-yang framework and the zang-fu organs alongside therapeutic practices involving herbs and acupuncture. The emphasis is on making these interconnected theories and clinical approaches available in one comprehensive English-language reference. As a 1995 publication, it presents traditional Chinese medicine through the scope and terminology of the book itself rather than serving as a statement of current medical guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an overview of traditional Chinese medicine
  • Readers interested in yin-yang theory and zang-fu organs
  • Those exploring traditional uses of herbs and acupuncture

Book overview

For more than four thousand years, Chinese scholars and medical practitioners have documented ways of maintaining health and treating illness, from theories of yin-yang and the zang-fu organs to the use of herbs and acupuncture. The Essential Book of Traditional Chinese Medicine marks the first time such concepts have been made accessible to Westerners in a comprehensive form.
