There are thousands of books published about Chinese Medicine, but none come close to this one for readability, enjoyment, clarity, and detail. While I don’t agree with every single interpretation that Reid makes, I find that I am constantly referring my patients and students to this book.
It is a great place to begin your exploration of Chinese Medicine in its broadest scope. Reid writes intelligently and yet simply, about the full range of Chinese Medical practices and the foundations of Energetic Medicine too.
His format takes the reader, step-by-step, along the path of understanding this rich tradition of self-care, personal evolution, and natural healing. You will find plenty of personal stories in this book and a fair share of scientific findings which support the understanding presented.
Perhaps most importantly, you will be able to apply the basic principles, as described so clearly here, in your daily life. This is truly a book that can help you get started on the path of natural healing in your own life.
If you are in the healing profession, you will discover a world of refreshing insights, challenging questions, and beneficial protocols to explore.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sincerely interested in Chinese Medicine or Qigong.
