Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine
Description
“Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all
practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding.
Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find
much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of
Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and
fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early
1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American
educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify this
centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold,
pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United
States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese
medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with
Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven
and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine—theory, therapy, and
types—to present a comprehensive, yet understandable guide to this ancient
system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious
intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast
storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and
practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . .
Here at last is a complete and readable guide to Chinese medicine.”—San
