An introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine

Mi-Yung L. Rhee’s guide lays out key ideas associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, including Qi, Yin and Yang, and the aim of restoring balance. It surveys practices such as acupuncture, moxibustion, Tui Na massage, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and cupping, explaining the theories the book connects to them. Practical sections address working with a TCM practitioner, considering which ailments the approach may address, and weighing how it might fit alongside Western medicine. The emphasis is on understanding the system and its methods as part of making informed choices about healthcare, rather than treating any one technique in isolation.
