A beginner-friendly guide to the popular holistic healing approach

Traditional Chinese Medicine For Dummies introduces you to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 2,000 years. Due to its affordability and its use of natural remedies, TCM is growing in popularity. It focuses on restoring balance and harmony in the body, not just treating symptoms. This jargon-free book explains the underlying concepts and techniques, so you can use TCM to improve your well-being. You'll learn about Qi, Yin and Yang, acupuncture, moxibustion, Tui Na massage, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, cupping, and the theories behind them all. Discover how to incorporate TCM in your overall health approach and restore balance--the natural way.

  • Get a clear introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine and learn how to work with a TCM practitioner
  • Discover what ailments TCM can help with, and how to balance TCM with Western medicine
  • Make informed decisions about your options for healthcare and medical treatment
  • Understand the theories behind acupuncture, cupping, and other TCM methods

This book is the go-to option for those who have little to no prior experience with TCM and want to learn more. Discover the various tools that can help improve your health and restore balance.
