A comprehensive index of 120 major herbal formulas and 180 individual herbal ingredients is included, as is the translators' original Glossary of terms designed to clarify concepts of health and disease unique to Kampo and Japanese culture.

Download or read book Classical Chinese Medicine written by Liu Lihong and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but transmits concrete and inspiring guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large.

Download or read book Medicine Religion Spirituality written by Dorothea Lüddeckens and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern societies the functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm. Contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. How do political and legal conditions affect these healing systems? How do they relate to religious and scientific discourses? How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?
Download or read book Shiki Nagaoka written by Mario Bellatin and published by Phoneme Media. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mario Bellatin's playful biography of the most influential and largest-nosed obscure Japanese writer of the last century, Shiki Nagaoka, has proven to be so popular that it is now being reissued by Phoneme Media. With this book, Bellatin succeeded in sparking a huge and richly deserved modern resurgence of interest in Nagaoka's life and work. New fans of the Japanese writer, dubbed "Nagaokites" in the worldwide press, have propelled this book to heights as fabulous and ethereal as the actual writer himself. In it, Bellatin recounts with an almost paternal air Nagaoka's early life, including his failed first attempt at love, his decision to enter the monastic life, and his family's disavowal of him. He also contextualizes Nagaoka's untranslatable and nearly impossible to find masterwork, Photos and Words, his early use of narrative photography, and describes his ineffable influence on other important world artists, including writers Juan Rulfo, José María Arguedas, Tanizaki Junichiro, and filmmaker Yasujirô Ozu.
Download or read book Extraordinary Views of Abdominal Patterns written by Inaba Bunrei and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Any serious scholar and clinician of Chinese medicine, particularly with an interest in classic formulas or classical methods (Jing Fang) should read and reread Inaba Katsu Bunrei's Fukusho-Kiran (Extraordinary Views of Abdominal Patterns). While abdominal diagnosis is discussed in seminal texts such as the Shang Han Za Bing Lun and the Nanjing, the Fukusho-Kiran expands on this theory and discusses the abdominal signs, symptoms and treatments in greater detail and clarity. While abdominal diagnosis declined in China over many hundreds of years, it is now seeing a resurgence. The great Kampo physicians of Japan have held on to this valuable skill and art and this text is an exemplar of this level of expertise and precision. The Fukusho-Kiran is considered to be the most authoritatice text on Shang Han Lun style abdominal diagnosis. The Fukusho-Kiran can be used as a guide for clinicians to differentiate the locations and qualities of diseases, confirm the principles of treatment, guide the usage of medicines, and predict the prognosis, therefore this is a "must" to have in one's clinic and a clinician who uses abdominal palpation will use it repeatedly. We are very fortunate these days to have publishers like the Chinese Medicine Database that are working tirelessly to translate these seminal texts into English and increase the treasure trove available in English to benefit practitioners and in turn mankind. Another welcome addition to this collection is right here in your hands. May it be of benefit to all those that thoroughly study its pages and utilize the techniques which it lays out" -- Back cover.

This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indefatigable discoverer and preserver of lost traditions in the field of classical Chinese medicine, Liu Lihong has done it again—The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Transmission of Acupuncture features a passionate and clinically relevant synthesis of his discipleship with Yang Zhenhai, one of the last remaining master practitioners of Daoist acupuncture in mainland China. At the forefront of an international discourse on the definition and clinical significance of classical Chinese medicine, Yang and Liu promote yet another holistic medical system that radically contrasts the current penchant for symptom-oriented procedures. This English edition of their book lifts an important esoteric acupuncture lineage out of obscurity and presents it to us in complete and accessible form. The holistic approach has also defined Liu’s relentless search for the heart of Chinese medicine during the last three decades, driving his commitment to become the promoter of a diverse spectrum of healing traditions that exemplify the classical standards of Chinese medicine.

The rhythmic application of heat, frequency and pressure triggers rapid shifts in your patients' body condition and mood but this method generates only a little smoke. In this book, you will learn: Dr Manaka's meridian frequencies and how to apply them Branch treatments for symptom relief Root treatments for whole-body regulation The integration of Dr Tan's holographic models with Ontake for the rapid relief of pain in the neck, back and joints Moxa in Motion presents a step-by-step guide to clinical practice utilising the Ontake Method.
