Australian-trained English-speaking Chinese medicine practitioners Karen Pohlner and Russell Shaw use a clear, layperson-friendly writing style to strip back the foreign and difficult language and profound yet confusing philosophical concepts to eloquently unlock the mysteries of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

By sharing their knowledge and expertise Karen and Russell have filled an important gap between Eastern and Western understanding making Chinese Medicine more accessible and useful to modern-day consumers.

They set a historical and contemporary scene in profiling the evolution and development of the practice of Chinese Medicine from its ancient beginnings to its increasing worldwide acceptance. They also outline an exciting and progressive path forward as Chinese medicine finds its way to integrating more fully within the Australian mainstream medical model.

The manual is arranged to follow the normal stages of the human lifecycle - including growth, development and reproduction - and the conditions that appear during these life transitions that Chinese Medicine can be helpful in treating.

They also present information on family and general health conditions that can occur at any time during the lifecycle regardless of development stage, age or gender.

In the process the reader is left with a simple and meaningful perspective on how to understand and use this ancient medicine more fully.

A must read for anyone interested in or curious about the history, philosophy and practice or traditional Chinese medicine.
