Title: Health and long life the Chinese way
First published: 2005
Description: "Health and long life: the Chinese way brings together the wide variety of Chinese medical and spiritual methods in one integrated volume. It provides not only basic description, but also discusses the relationship of Chinese healing to contemporary western science and religious Daoism. The book begins with a survey of the basic concepts of Chinese medicine, followed by a presentation of clinical and contemporary practices in various countries. A third part deals with ways of balancing qi, such as Fengshui, diets and sexual practices, while the last section presents a well-informed discussion of self-cultivation methods. Easy to read, with numerous charts and illustrations, and enriched by exercises that encourage readers to examine their own practices and attitudes, Health and Long Life is a great resource for anyone interested in Chinese healing." -- Publisher's description
