The objective of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to restore harmony to the body, mind and spirit by balancing the Yin and the Yang and by regulating the Qi - the vital energy - that flows through out bodies along fourteen meridians. Chinese doctors believe that it is possible to improve the Qi, enhance the body`s immunity and increase energy levels and longevity. This authoritative and fully comprehensive encyclopedia is a guide to the four main branches of Chinese medicine: herbalism, food cures, acupuncture and manipulative therapy. Edited by Dr Duo Gao, one of the world`s leading authorities on TCM, with contributions by a team of Californian specialists and academics, the book provides in-depth analysis of this holistic medical system, together with practical information and self-care instruction, including the arts of Qi Gong and T`ai Chi. Throughout the book special emphasis is paced on preventative medicine, which is a key aspect of Chinese medicine.ISBN - 9781780972428
