Book Description
Optimal eye health is just around the corner with this guide to treating common eye disorders with acupuncture, herbs, and other tenets of Chinese medicine For the past ten years, Andy Rosenfarb has successfully used acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat a wide range of eye conditions. His treatments include moxibustion techniques, tuina (massage), microcurrent stimulation, Chinese herbs, and qigong exercises, along with “essential acupuncture” where essential oils are placed on acupuncture points. The culmination of his work—which includes a recent pioneering study involving metabolic testing—is this handbook for healing the kinds of conditions too often considered almost impossibly challenging or irreversible. The first half of Healing Your Eyes with Chinese Medicine explains Traditional Chinese Medicine and its perspective on the eyes, which is based on the idea that the eyes and the brain work in tandem, not isolation. The second half focuses on proven methods derived from Rosenfarb’s practice, including nutritional, supplemental, and lifestyle adjustments. Individual chapters cover eye disorders such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and many more. This book is intended as a practical manual to help readers understand their eyes and vision more comprehensively, and to learn new, affordable ways for retaining the precious gift of sight.

Book Description
Is it possible to take your health in your own hand without having to see a doctor? Common problems such as acne and pimples, color spots, swollen face, red veins in the eyes and on the face, and color changes in the face--what caused these things to happen? Facial diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine can help you understand the various signals your body sends out regarding the state of your health. Facial diagnosis is an integral part of TCM's diagnostic methods. TCM believes that all that exists on the inside of the body will ultimately reveal themselves on the outside. By observing changes occurring in the face, one can gain insight into the health status of the internal organs of the human body, thereby preventing some diseases from developing and improving one's health as a result. Facial diagnostic method, as introduced in this book, is easy to learn and practice. Combined with pictures and texts, the book is accessible to the readers and suitable for daily home health care.

Book Description
Through an immense feat of coordinated scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s, the Nánjīng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine collected and identified items used in indigenous Chinese healing practices, providing information about their origins, properties, applications, chemical composition, and classical records. This project led to the publication in 1977 of the Zhōng Yào Dà Cí Diǎn (中药大辞典, “The Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinals”), which describes 5,767 animal, vegetable, and mineral items used in classical Chinese medicine and in Chinese folk medicine. Since China occupies a vast territory spanning numerous climatic zones, some of these items are familiar to folk medicine practitioners in the West, although many others may be totally unfamiliar. This Comprehensive Chinese Materia Medica comprises 6,556 entries, including the 5,767 main items of the Zhōng Yào Dà Cí Diǎn as well as nearly one thousand additional entries for specific forms of medicinals and food items. The aim is to enable those outside China to understand the immensity of Chinese traditions and to learn about the Chinese understanding of items that they are familiar with or that may be available in their locality. The items are each identified by their Latin pharmacognostic names, as well as by their Pīnyīn, Chinese (simplified and traditional), and common English names (or English names derived from Latin). Accented Pīnyīn and unaccented Pinyin are included for transliteration accuracy and easy searchability. The items are listed in alphabetical order of pharmacognostic names, since these are the only names that allow the grouping together of all items of the same and similar origin. The present e-book version offers maximum searchability. Chinese terms are given in simplified characters, so that they can be found by anyone who knows Chinese. Pinyin is given in accented form, so users who know the tones can precisely find the items they are looking for. Unaccented Pinyin is included for users’ convenience. Since these classic translations rigorously conform to published dictionaries and references, terms searched in English will be just as exact as those searched in Chinese or Pinyin. To make for the greatest utility without overly burdening the text a standard set of graphical indicators are used throughout this and other related e-books. Square brackets ([ ]) indicate elements of terms that can be omitted (such as omissible elements of medicinal names) or notes to Chinese and English terms. A double asterisk (⁑) indicates polysemous medicinal names. A gray sidebar in the left-hand margin indicates a commonly used item. Besides being generally less expensive, these eBooks have several unique advantages beside superb searchability. Because everyone can set page size, font type, and font size as they like the discomfort of reading a too-small type is eliminated. If very large type is better for you, go ahead and set it in your eReader preferences. The display will change as appropriate. If you prefer audio-based learning, eReaders are now capable of “read to you” services. This may also be an option for anyone prone to eye strain. Another feature of eBooks that will make life easier for people who like to highlight text for study or memorization. In an eBook your highlights automatically show on a separate contents page. You are making your own customized study guide as you read along. If you prefer not to highlight text, bookmarks can accomplish the same value. Either way the eBook saves you a lot of time, some of which was just mechanical, like sorting note cards. The act of creating the highlight or bookmark improves memorizations and having your selections indexed with no effort makes pre-test review efficient. Some of the advantages of eBooks aren’t about reading. When you use your ID to register an eBook, you are establishing your right to that text forever. Reliable eBook sellers know who registered their digital version and can replace a copy lost in a cyber accident, a fumbled key or an errant mouse click. You are also protected from technological disruption. The eBook format, called “epub,” is a standard, no one can hide or alter it. If the next best tech comes along, it will read epub.

Book Description
In the past century, Western medicine has made such tremendous progress, particularly in diagnostics and surgery that it has become indispensable to human health. Unfortunately, one thing gets in the way of Western medicine as a medical science: individual physical conditions. Individuals do not share the same physical conditions; some people feel unusually cold, which means that they have a cold physical condition; others feel unusually hot, which means that they have a hot physical condition; still others feel unusually fatigued, which means that they have a weak physical condition; still others feel unusually thirsty, which means that they have a dried physical condition; to mention only a few types. If you have a cold physical condition, you need to warm your body; if you have a hot physical condition, you need to cool your body; if you have a weak physical condition, you need to strengthen your body; if you have a dried physical condition, you need to moisten your body. Each physical condition needs different things and should avoid different things. This is a fundamental principle of health and healing, which runs counter to the scientific principle of Western medicine. A drug in Western medicine targets a disease that may attack many thousands of individuals, and the same drug treats them indiscriminately. This is one important reason why drugs used in Western medicine cause so many side effects, because it takes a dim view of different physical conditions. A renowned Chinese doctor in the 17th century put forward the following points of view., The attack of pathogens affects a victim in the same way that intoxication affects a drunk. A drunk will normally display a flooding and rapid pulse, being in high spirits, feeling hot sensations in the body, with a red color of the face and pink eyes, which apply to average persons. However, in some cases, a drunk may act like a wild animal, and he will forget everything after sleeping off a drunk. Another drunk may remain normal in thought and spirit; still another may display a pale color of the face; still another may appear stronger than usual; still another may shiver with chills; still another may get intoxicated easily and sober up quickly; still another may not be easily intoxicated, nor can he sober up quickly; still another may yawn and sneeze; still another may feel dizzy and headache. Thus, people have different reactions to intoxication, due to their differences in physical conditions. By the same token, when people are under the attack of pathogens, normally they will display a fever day and night, which reduces at dawn; they will have headache and body ache, a white layer of coating on the tongue, gradually feeling thirsty; such are normal patterns. However, some people under the same attack may vomit or feel dry in the throat, or discharge phlegm from the mouth, or have only fever, or, have fever with chills, or have fever after chill. Thus, people have different reactions to the attack, due to their differences in physical conditions. To be sure, Western doctors know very well that intoxication affects different people differently, which is why they maintain that the amount of alcohol present in the blood does not provide completely valid information about the degree of intoxication. Why not? It is because of the ability of the central nervous system to adapt to alcohol. Since each individual has a different central nervous system, it logically follows that intoxication affects different individuals differently. This is very true indeed, but the inherent fallacy is that a doctor should take each patient's central nervous system into serious consideration, instead of shrugging off the individual difference and treating all patients with the same drug for the same disease.
