Chinese Medicine by Angela Hicks

Methods of Eastern healing in a nutshell

At a time when interest in Chinese medicine is increasing in popularity, this is a lay-person’s guide to understanding the workings of the body, detecting imbalances and self healing, and an excellent guide to finding and working with a practitioner.

Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Qi Gong, tui na massage and diet therapy have been used by the Chinese for over 2000 years and work on the notion of prevention rather than cure – something that is often overlooked in Western approaches to medicine.
Includes:
• The basic theories of Chinese Medicine
• Traditional Chinese Diagnosis
• Acupuncture and Moxibustion – balancing your energy
• How Chinese Herbal Medicine can work in tandem with Western Medical diagnosis.
• Qi Gong exercises to transform your energy
• Chinese Dietetics to nourish your energy
• Choosing the right treatment
• How to find a practitioner
