Review: A Most Enlightening Book

This was not a topic I'd have chosen to read, but I was gifted the book and I read anything that passes within range.What an eye-opener. I knew nothing about Chinese medicine and there is far more about Chinese medicine than how to improve one's skin. Being of a certain age (pretty darn old), I don't know how much of what is in this book will help my skin, but I'm going to try some of the suggestions.The book begins with the history of Chinese medicine which I found interesting. There are drawings, explanations and tips about many area of the body including tongue diagnosis.Most interesting for me was the information about Chinese herbs, herbal medicines, acupuncture, and cleansing soups with easy to follow recipes--though the ingredients may mean finding an Oriental market.This is an easy to understand and well-organized how-to for anyone wanting to try something new to not only improve her skin but also general health.
