Product Description:
The theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine is based on a series of philosophical thoughts synthetically put together, emphasizing that life is to be lived according to the rhythms of Nature. Traditional medicine pays great attention to diet and food, as well as the living conditions of the general populace, which includs such aspects as daily life, climate, geographical surroundings, social milieu and human relationships. The dialectic theory of yin and yang proposed by the writer of the Book of Changes and the metaphysical calculations by rotation of the Five Elements(water, fire, wood, metal and earth) developed at later times to determine whether a situation is accelerating or counteracting are the two effective weapons of early Chinese physicians to combat the various symptoms of a disease. This book is indeed a tightly knitted fabric that outlines the main features of Chinese medicine. It is suitble for a broad range of readership who like to learn more about traditional medical and medicinal culture.
