Chinese medicine is a treasure trove of possibilities. But for most compatriots, unfortunately, this is a "dark and terrible forest." Too often the author, a medical practitioner, has been told: "If I'd known about it before..." After all, many diseases are curable if you consider the body as a whole, and not a set of individual organs. You don't have to believe in Chinese medicine - understanding its foundations, you yourself can appreciate its holistic approach and impeccable logic.
