This volume introduces readers to Eastern medicine and synthesizes some aspects of these ancient traditions with modern Western medicine. Kaptchuk, O.M.D., associate director of the Center for Alternative Medicine Research and Education at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, discusses the ideas of Qi, Essence, Spirit, and Fluids, as well as the basics of acupuncture and herbology. The bulk of the book focuses on the notion of harmony, the body's patterns, and signs of disharmony. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

    More is NOT better

    Has your Dr. ever asked you..."Is your home cool or warm, damp, or dry?" Probably not. But, do you think this has something to do with your overall health? Read this book and restore harmony in your life, unless you want another prescription to fill!
