| Synopsis: |
"The authors have performed a great service by clearing a path into the formidable dense thicket that constitutes Chinese medicine in the West.

An excellent book for those studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this new text provides an insight into the depth and subtlety of this interesting subject. It delves into the linguistic and cultural wellsprings of China's venerable past, describing all aspects of TCM and making it applicable to Western approaches.
