Or that Chinese medicine is most helpful for healing mild health issues and preventing bigger issues from taking hold. Lots of interesting concepts in an approachable framework and narrative. The difference between two very different seeming medical modalities can be bridged once one transcends the inflexible concept that there is only one worldview I have "lost" this book to borrowers so many times I have lost count! I just buy a new one Jun 27, Bill Blocksom rated it really liked it.
This is an excellent book. It is an in depth look at Chinese Medicine from the view of the practitioner. I know that is has been used as a required text in Acupuncture training. After I gave up thinking I was going to remember every detail, I was able to read this a get a good sense of the subject, its artistry, and the contrast with Western medicine.
I recommend this book. Oct 27, Nated Doherty added it Recommends it for: Pat. Shelves: philosophy. I've never gotten all the way through this, but i've gotten as much out of this as I have out of books i've read all the way through.
Jul 07, Heather Rose rated it really liked it. This is a deep book which is considered one of the essentials for understanding the medicine taught at Bastyr University.
It also has alot of appeal to the study of medical anthropology. Nov 07, Jennifer rated it did not like it. I absolutely love this book! I read it all the way through in Now I continue to pick it up and reference it all the time!
Feb 15, Jess rated it really liked it Shelves: asians , science , culture , chinese , health-and-wellness. My dear cousin Jill bought this for me for Christmas in a stack of other books that were perfectly calibrated to my current interests.
Lucky me! I didn't read all the way to the end page, and I didn't get through the amazingly comprehensive footnotes, but I did read the body of the book and it was fascinating and very helpful to understand more about the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, which I'd really only understood vaguely before. Folks cite this as the book for beginners wanting to learn My dear cousin Jill bought this for me for Christmas in a stack of other books that were perfectly calibrated to my current interests.
Folks cite this as the book for beginners wanting to learn more about Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and it was quite readable. I admit I tried to do a little self-diagnosing while reading which probably didn't help my overall comprehension, but in the end, I do feel like I understand a lot more than I did when I began. I now know just enough to know how little I know, what a subtle, detailed, and deep art Chinese medicine is, and more about how it relates to Western medicine.
It was also fun to understand a bit more about phrases or advice that I would hear from my mum or aunties about "heaty" or "cooling" foods and put them into a broader context. I have a feeling I'll be keeping this one on my shelf and referring to it over time. Sep 18, Scalar Energy rated it it was amazing. Terrific Read. I love learning about alternative therapy and medicines. Many think they're a placebo effect but not me. It has also been suggested that magnets can be helpful for pain relief, including lower back and knee pains.
Magnets can be used in many different ways. Wearin Terrific Read. Wearing therapeutic copper or magnetic bracelets to ease ailments is nothing new; the practice may even date all the way back to ancient times. I had hoped there was a little more on the magnetism and magnet healing power, I have a real interest in this area too. Dec 04, Ann Michael rated it really liked it. A good introduction to the differences between western and eastern approaches to health and wellness, but this book is likely to be a bit tedious for the casual reader, as Kaptchuk is quite thorough and goes into the philosophy as well as the 'medicine.

Apr 03, Serena rated it it was amazing. I have always had an interest in acupuncture and alternative health treatments, this book is fascinating I like that it has so much detail about the body. Chinese medicine and their holistic approaches are a big interest of mine, I already have a sound knowledge of Ayurveda so I can see how the overlaps are being made.
Can't wait to finish reading this now, wish there was a bit more on the magnetism and magnet healing power I have a real interest in this area. Jul 10, Medea rated it it was amazing Shelves: oriental-medicine. This book was on our reading list for first year Acupuncture school. For someone coming from an orthodox medical science background, it was a very good bridging text. Apr 28, SM Zalokar rated it really liked it. Many popular products are often being copied or hacked.
