Summary:

"The Healing Dào: Chinese Medicine for Beginners covers the traditional Chinese Five Element theory. Together with the concept of Yin and Yang this theory is the backbone of traditional Chinese world view, philosophy and medicine. The Five Element system is important to us today it provides a holistic approach to health and disease, and because it puts the different aspects of the physical, mental and emotional level of man into precise correlation. It offers a worldview that does not know a split between body and soul or between man and nature. The book is split into two parts: theoretical and practical. The first details the specifics of the Five Element system, providing an understanding of the connection between your body and external events. The latter part describes physical, mental and emotional exercises to balance the functioning of the organs, to enhance the energy flow in the meridians, to strengthen mental abilities and to free the flow of emotions. Building upon the success of previous editions in eight different languages, this book provides new and up-to-date content. It is suitable for a range of students and practitioners, as well as for those who are interested in Chinese and alternative medicine, with many images to improve clarity and understanding"-- Provided by publisher.
