The Web that Has No Weaver: Understanding Chinese Medicine [B0795]

1983 PB in nice clean condition. The original classic guide to the theory and practice of Chinese alternative medicine, by an American physician fully trained in the practice of Chinese medicine and regards it as a 'non-scientific but often effective system of healing'. This accessible and invaluable resource has earned its place as the foremost authority in synthesizing Western and Eastern healing practices. "Demystifies Oriental medicine in a remarkably rational analysis of both its strengths and weaknesses".-Science Digest.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A total culture shock that challenges you to abandon your existing framework, foundations, and overall understanding of health and medicine to provide insight into a millenias-old perspective of the human body, mind, and spirit and it's interconnectedness to the Universe as a whole."; "Pretty decent introductory book but definitely primarily targeted toward western medical practitioners. Pretty useful for laymen nonetheless and case studies in particular are cool, but definitely missing information about application. There are better sources out there."; "Accessible and very kindly written. Helpful to understand philosophically how different the Chinese view of medicine is, especially lack of cause and effect."
