lThe result is a handbook that straddles both traditions. Both preventative and curative, "Traditional Chinese Medicine" provides an alternative method for achieving and maintaining good health.. Lu offers treatments for problems that affect men or women specifically, with sections on diseases of the prostate gland and impotence, pre- and postnatal care, and PMS and menopause. In addition to providing help for chronic ailments, Dr. Lu familarizes us with the thirteen syndromes identified in Chinese medicine but incorporates more familiar Western medical terminolgy. Many of the techniques not only rejuvenate the body and sustain it when it has undergone long-term stress but also help maintain lifelong good health through the balancing of the body's complex sys
"A good starter on the topic" according to R. Wilson. This book is the type that is good if you want a quick and easy reference.

However, the information is helpful and will definitely give you a nice introduction to Chinese medicine as well as a reference guide to explain a. "Good intro to Chinese Dietetics, and more." according to Alberto Gauthereau. I like the simplicity of style in this book. Also I notice is well research into the traditional ways of China. You can learn food cures almost for every symptom you now, or if you prefer to learn Chinese diagnosis, go to the Treatment of Common Diseases chapter. There is a chapter on Tai Chi, that explains each exercise and its benefits. Keep it close, this is no novel, you can read and discard. It makes a good companion to Dr. Maos. Mark Hammer said Dr. Lu's TCM is an Introductory Overview. I have this one on my shelf for reference. I like it for some quick info but not comprehensive. I like it for some additional information. However, while I respect all of Henry C. Lu's books, I see this book as an overview and have been spoiled by his prior books. If you are interested in alternative medicine and/or Chinese medicine, I would get anything Dr. Lu has written up to this point.
