The Web That Has No Weaver

Ted J. Kaptchuck

This is the best book I have read that successfully and intellectually explains the realities of Traditional Chinese Medicine in both matter-of-fact and scientific terms. Great for a first introduction or a thorough study!

"Completely and thoroughly revised, The Web That Has No Weaver is the classic, comprehensive guide on the theory and practice of Chinese medicine. This accessible and invaluable resource has earned its place as the foremost authority in the synthesizing of Western and Eastern healing practices."

Between Heaven and Earth

Harriet Beinfield

Between Heaven and Earth provides easy access to the philosophy, vocabulary, and practice of Chinese Medince today. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand Chinese Medicine and its application today.

"Two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify Chinese medicine's centuries-old approach to health. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, 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."

Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

Christiane Northrup

Consistent with the mission of my practice, this book seeks to puts health ahead of philosophy in providing women with an encyclopaedic-style resource to the treatment of women's health issues.

"Quite possibly every female over the age of 12 will find this huge book enlightening, pain saving, and perhaps even lifesaving. Think of it as a much more empowering and holistic Our Bodies, Ourselves. Northrup is a gynecologist who acknowledges the power of natural therapies and herbs, but also maintains that allopathic treatments, including surgery, are sometimes best."
