An unprecedentedly accessible, practical guide to achieving
total health the Chinese way--from one of the nation''s most
prominent, esteemed doctors of Oriental medicine.
A fourth-generation Chinese doctor, Dr. Esther Ting has treated
more than 140,000 patients on two continents. Now she distills her
decades of medical experience and lifetime of knowledge for
everyone seeking complete health naturally. Total Health the
Chinese Way derives from Ting''s core belief that we can achieve
lasting health without surgery or drugs the moment we start
listening to our bodies. She and researcher Marianne Jas, a
former patient, explain the concept of the body''s five power
centers and their roles in increasing our physical and emotional
defenses.
Total Health the Chinese Way describes the armamentarium
of Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture and herbs; how
practitioners use them to diagnose and treat patients; and the many
benefits these treatments offer. It identifies myriad home
remedies--from simple recipes to invigorating physical and mental
exercises--to ease pain, maximize energy, and strengthen and
restore the body. Total Health the Chinese Way makes the
wisdom of this 4,000-year-old healing tradition accessible and
useful as never before.
