This second edition of A Comprehensive Guide to Chinese Medicine by Ping-Chung Leung from The Chinese University of Hong Kong is a rearranged and enriched version of the previous edition, composed of feedback and constructive comments from readers.
\nAcupuncture is the most popular form of treatment in Chinese medicine.
\nThe theories and practice of acupuncture have been revised and rewritten to give readers a clear idea of how it works and when it is to be utilized.
\nBotanicals, i.e. herbal medicine, form the major core of Chinese medicine practice.
\nThe potential of botanicals development is wide: from casting specific biological activities to preventive uses.
\nThree new chapters are offered:
\n(i) for the understanding of the biological activities of herbal medicine,
\n(ii) the products produced from herbs for specific needs,
\nand (iii) the individual’s choice for what may suit him\/her best.
\nIn this present era of information technology, readers should be guided on the use of the Internet and related areas in order to independently secure information for personal use and research needs.
\nThe last chapter is provided for this practical purpose.
\nSince the publication of the First Edition, much development has occurred in the field of Chinese medicine.
\nAll the chapters have been updated and revised accordingly so that general readers, those looking for effective treatment, as well as those who want to serve their patients better, can have a reliable comprehensive reference.<\/p>\n
