Book Description
A guide to applying the power and wisdom of Chinese Medicine to Bach Flower Therapy • Includes detailed write-ups about the indications and effects of each of the original 38 Bach flower remedies according to Chinese Medicine • Explains the relationships between specific emotions, symptoms, and regions of the body according to Chinese Medicine • Offers a complementary method of Flower Essence evaluation using physical conditions to access the emotions Bach flower essences provide excellent tools for balancing energetic disturbances generated by emotions. Yet people often have trouble clearly expressing their feelings and emotions, making selection of a specific flower essence difficult. Drawing upon the centuries-old relationships established in Chinese Medicine between emotions and physical disorders, Pablo Noriega shows how to use a person’s descriptions of their complaints and chronic conditions combined with Flower-type personality traits to diagnose which flower essence to prescribe in each unique case. The author includes a full primer on Chinese Medicine, exploring in detail the main principles: Yin and Yang; the Five Elements and their associated Organs; Blood and Energy; the Virtues, the behaviors that can strengthen the Elements; and the Psyches, the energetic spirit of each Organ. He reveals the direct correspondences between specific emotions, symptoms, and regions of the body and how the Flowers help regulate Spirit and work on the emotional foundations of many common chronic disorders. Providing detailed profiles about each of the original 38 Bach flower remedies according to Chinese Medicine, Noriega explains how to prescribe flower essences for prevention of predisposed conditions, for healing of acute and chronic ailments, and for disorders that arise from stagnant energy and yin-yang imbalances. Offering flower essence therapists new possibilities for evaluation and treatment, this guide also helps Chinese Medicine practitioners incorporate Flower Essences into their practice.
Holistic medicine in China learn to use Qigong, acupressure and herbal remedies for natural healing

Book Description
Introduction This book teaches a theory and practice of two natural healing methods used in China. Every branch of Chinese medicine is holistic, but there are countless beds of possible holistic interconnection. To achieve greater synergy, they must be integrated in accordance with the principles contained herein. So these methods are used with greater advantages in China, with some variations, as you can learn them Chapter 1 and everywhere PART 2. The book is presented in two distinct parts, more closely intertwined, and follows the guidance of many wise professors who have the privilege of knowing over decades of study. Two central ideas were repeatedly found and, some teachers embodied them as formulas in a different way, the essential meanings were always the same. The first central idea is “To learn any practice or discipline, you need both a solid intellectual understanding and a solid foundation in its practical application.” Everyone agrees that one's own practice (Qigong, Taiji, healing exercises, acupressure) or the application of the method (acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapies) is the ultimate goal. Greater intellectual understanding may support greater practical ability, but it is valuable to the extent that it serves to promote that enterprise. If not, it may provide some interesting conversations, but it won't tangentially improve your health and life. A second central idea is “Mastery means mastery or basic.” Basic principles are the reason for theory and practice. A broad, solid foundation provides stability for quality construction and growth. Even if you choose to build only one base, that will be your base in any time of difficulty. PART 1, “Teorias Fundamentais da Medicina Chinesa”, presents the theoretical foundations of all Chinese medical science and philosophy. Embora is not as detailed as a medical book, it is quite extensive for two reasons. It provides the intellectual core necessary to understand and realize, and deeply familiarize the Western reader with a different way of seeing the world, from a Chinese perspective. The concepts and practices taught throughout this book arise from a cultural perspective and, if we want to learn to apply those practices in our daily lives, it will be necessary to make some effort to abandon our own cultural preconceits and see things with new eyes. The details in Part 1 are intended to facilitate that change in perception. A majority of PART 2, “Holistic Self-Care with Chinese Medicine,” carefully teaches the practical foundations of two Chinese holistic self-care methods using the principles learned in Part 1 and offers plenty of room to grow as you become more adept at each. Doing practices regularly is the most important thing and, in the final analysis, leads to the domain, giving you the simple, most valuable and effective options to assume or control your health in a variety of natural and holistic ways. These are methods that you can use forever and that greatly reduce the likelihood of needing to see any doctor, whether Chinese or Western.

Classical Chinese Medicine
Author: Liu Lihong
Publisher: The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press
ISBN: 9882370578
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 697
Book Description
The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but transmits concrete and inspiring guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large.

The Expressiveness of the Body and the Divergence of Greek and Chinese Medicine
Author: Shigehisa Kuriyama
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0942299930
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
An illuminating account of how early medicine in Greece and China perceived the human body Winner of the William H. Welch Medal, American Association for the History of Medicine The true structure and workings of the human body are, we casually assume, everywhere the same, a universal reality. But when we look into the past, our sense of reality wavers: accounts of the body in diverse medical traditions often seem to describe mutually alien, almost unrelated worlds. How can perceptions of something as basic and intimate as the body differ so? In this book, Shigehisa Kuriyama explores this fundamental question, elucidating the fascinating contrasts between the human body described in classical Greek medicine and the body as envisaged by physicians in ancient China. Revealing how perceptions of the body and conceptions of personhood are intimately linked, his comparative inquiry invites us, indeed compels us, to reassess our own habits of feeling and perceiving.

Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine
Author: Ju-Yi Wang
Publisher: EASTLAND Press
ISBN: 9780939616626
Category : Acupuncture points
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between organ and channel theory can lead to more precise diagnoses and better clinical results. This book is a collaboration between Wang Ju-Yi, one of modern China's most respected scholars, teachers, and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, and his American apprentice and practitioner, Jason Robertson. While most textbooks focus either on the functions of the organs in basic physiology or on the uses of the channels in treatment, this book shows the essential relationships between the two. Theory and practice are connected through a detailed discussion of a channel palpation methodology developed by Dr. Wang, which leads to more precise and effective point selection, location, and technique. Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine was developed during Mr. Robertson's apprenticeship with Dr. Wang in Beijing, and is presented in a unique and highly readable format that preserves the intimacy of dialogue between apprentice and teacher, with questions and answers, narratives, and case studies.

China in Argentina
Author: Máximo Badaró
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303092422X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This is the first book to shed light on the growing presence, influence and expansion of China in the daily life of Argentina. While most previous academic studies focus on the geopolitical and macroeconomics dimensions of the relations between Argentina and China, this book shows at a micro-social level the multiple facets of the economic, political and social influence of China in Argentina. The book presents ethnographic studies of encounters of actors and negotiation of identities from Argentina and China in companies, schools, restaurants, hospitals, districts, public and private institutions in Argentina. Themes discussed in the ethnographies include: identity struggle and strategic uses of culture in Buenos Aires' s Chinatown; teaching Chinese as the first foreign language or teaching it as a heritage language in a bilingual school; the contested production of images of Chinese authenticity in Chinese restaurants; the connections and contestations between so-called “Western medicine” and so-called “Chinese Traditional Medicine”; and the conflictive relations between Chinese expatriate bosses of Chinese state-owned enterprises and their Argentinean employees.
