The Foundations of Chinese Medicine: - £67.99
	The aim of the present book is to give a detailed account of the theory of Chinese medicine and acupuncture based on rigorous reference to ancient and modern Chinese books, as well as to explain its application in a Western practice. The theory covered is common to both acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. In addition, it discusses the use of the acupuncture points in detail and the principles of treatment. Maciocia has had many years of experience in practising and teaching Chinese medicine. He believes that despite its origin some hundreds of years before Christ, that it can be used to successfully diagnose and treat 20th century health problems, generated by a life-style very different from that of the ancient peasant society, from which Chinese medicine originated. He considers that the simplicity of Chinese medicine makes it truly universal, so that it can be applied to any society at any time. Author - Giovanni, CAc Maciocia >Order online

Zen Shiatsu - £11.38
	(CUSTOMER REVIEW) Oriental medicine concerns itself with using natural powers to effect a cure. This book is a very good examination and explanation of the role shiatsu plays in creating a therapeutic approach that is completely in harmony with the patient's whole body. The chapter on self shiatsu is worth the cover price on its own. Author - Shizuto Masunaga, Wataru Ohashi >Order online
A Complete Guide to Chi-Gung - £11.38
	(CUSTOMER REVIEW) I initially bought the L.V. Carnie book on Chi Gung based on the more favourable star rating on Amazon. I got a lot of benefit and a greater understanding of Chi Gung from that book. However when i happened across this book in a shop and had a chance to browse through it i was immediately struck by the depth of detail provided on the exercises. It takes your understanding to a much deeper level. I'd been working through Carnie's book and getting on well but questions had come up in my mind that the book couldn't answer, for example was numbness and a cold feeling in my legs normal when i practiced. Reid's book has a whole chapter devoted to the sensations felt when practicing and these are the little markers which tell you how you are doing. I have been practicing Kung Fu for 5 years and do have a good knowledge and experience of internal energies which may mean that i get more out of Reid's book than perhaps someone less experienced would. If less experienced then the Carnie book is probably better to start with. Author - Daniel P. Reid >Order online
Chinese Herbal Medicines - £29.95
	It is a challenge for Chinese medicine students to learn and retain information about the characteristics of the hundreds of commonly used Chinese herbs, and it is equally a challenge for the junior practitioner to be sure of selecting the best herbs to use in formulae. This book brings to life, through vivid and clear discussion, the characteristics of the commonly used Chinese herbs. Through a full question and answer format, it offers a method for students and junior practitioners of learning and memorizing the functions of herbs through comparing the characteristics and the strengths of the herbs. For the experienced practitioner, the fine analysis of the characteristics of herbs allows an opportunity to make a formula with better quality and result, and the discussion of clinical applications within each question and answer unit can be used in practice to enlarge the treatment range.

Tao of Beauty: Chinese Herbal Secrets to Looking Great - £10.83
	(CUSTOMER REVIEW) Yes, I have read the "Tao Of Beauty" and found it to be an exceptional book. What I really love about it is that you make the recipes simple and easy to follow. One thing I have learned from you is that Chinese herbs are not just for medicinal purposes but can also be used for beautifying. I actually have come across patients in my clinic who want to know how to get rid of liver spots or pigmentations on their faces. Once again, congratulations and thank you for your wonderful book!

Acupressure for Common Ailments - £7.39
	(CUSTOMER REVIEW) This book focuses on some easily-learned acupressure applications that seem intended to be the equivalent of a first-aid handbook. Although it lacks the in-depth discussion and completeness of a more professional work, the techniques listed cover some of the most common problems suffered by people (headache, sinus, acid stomach, knee pain, back pain, etc.). The methods are startlingly effective, especially the one for headache. I used this method once on a man who needed shots for a migraine, but who had left his medication home. The pain lessened by completion, but the relief continued afterward. His pain was completely gone in 10-15 minutes, and stayed gone. These methods are especially useful for those who already take a large number of prescription medications, and don't want to add other drugs to their system for more "routine" problems.
