About this title

Synopsis

This title was originally intended to be used as a textbook for MDs and other medical practitioners who come to China to study Chinese medicine. It relays the fundamentals of Chinese medical theory in a way that can be easily understood by Western physicians. Since Chinese medicine is, essentially, a ""science"" in and of itself, the greatest challenge of learning Chinese medicine comes from the fact that it is based on a system of logic that is very different from what the average medical practitioner is used to. This text demystifies the principles of Chinese medicine and breaks it down to its basic elements. It offers a clear and concise introduction to Chinese medical physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment.This is a highly informative book for all professional health care providers who are interested in studying Chinese medicine, and for anyone who simply wishes to understand the ""science"" behind this ancient art of healing.
