Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the author's previous book 'New paradigms for Shang Han Lun', two clinical methodologies were introduced for the prescription of traditional Asian herbal medicine. One is Dr. Lee Jema's individual constitutional perspective (Sasang Medicine), and the other is single herbal functional perspective of Dr. Todo Yoshimas (Yakucho). This book is mainly focused on the clinical application of Shang Han Lun providing the case studies of contemporary Korean medicine doctors and Kampo medicine doctors, in addition to the descriptions of Yakucho. It is more likely pathological approach of Shang Han Lun. However, it is also critical to consider the constitution of each individual to make more accurate diagnosis and prescription. please refer to 'New paradigms for Shang Han Lun' to further understand how to use the right formula for the right person from the constitutional medicine perspective. This book also provides 76 formulas with the related clauses excerpted from Kang Ping Shang Han Lun to help understand the formulas in the context of the original text. Kang Ping Shang Han Lun is the closest edition to the original, and my other book 'New paradigms for Shang Han Lun' also offers the full translation of the Kang Ping edition along with the historical background. Each formula is analyzed with modern interpretation of Shang Han Lun in the specific clinical settings. The author's clinical case studies are also added. These clinical cases are the little fruits of her sixteen years of practice after struggling to find better way to approach to Asian Medicine. This book will provide herbal practitioners with stepping stones on the journey to mastering Asian Medicine.

Download or read book Health Care in Eleventh Century China written by Nathan Sivin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining all the prevalent varieties of therapy from self-care to religious ritual, this book explores health care practices in China, before modern times. In ancient China most people were unable to afford a doctor, even in the unlikely case that one lived near their village and was willing to treat peasants. What did they do when their children got sick? The answer is to be found in this book, which goes far beyond the history of medicine. The author uses methods of medical anthropology to explain the curative roles of popular religion, Daoism, Buddhism and the therapeutic rites performed by imperial officials. Readers will discover the steady interaction of religious healing and classical medicine in this culture. This highly readable book builds on over forty years of study and analysis of early liturgical and medical writings and a wide variety of other sources. Its focus on the eleventh century throws new light on a period of rapid transition in many aspects of therapy and it will appeal to scholars and general readers alike.

Endorsements "This wonderful book has assembled some 25 authors expressing well a view of qi which entirely does justice to its nature. Meticulously referenced, it is a milestone to set beside Maciocias Foundations of Chinese Medicine and Deadmans Manual of Acupuncture. Here at last are the beginnings of a true science of qi...There is truly nothing like it in contemporary literature. Alone, it lays the foundation for the beginnings of a modern science of qi."Richard Bertschinger, Acupuncturist and translator, Somerset, UK. "This book offers a timely and thorough examination of the experience and nature of qi, including a series of fascinating philosophical discussions with a direct application to our patients. Required reading for acupuncture practitioners seeking to justify and clarify their clinical reasoning."Val Hopwood PhD FCSP, Physiotherapist, acupuncturist, researcher and educator; Course director, MSc Acupuncture, Coventry University, UK. "Over the last decade most books on Asian medicine paid tribute to the aura of evidence-based medicine – experience counted little, RCTs were convincing. This book, at last, returns to an old tradition of debate, opening up quite a few new horizons. Reading it, my striving for knowledge was married with enjoyment and happiness. This book made me happy!" Thomas Ots MD PhD, Medical acupuncturist specialising in psychiatry, Graz, Austria; Editor-in-Chief, Deutsche Zeitschrift für Akupunktur. "To simply review the chapter headings is to know the truly remarkable expanse of this book...a wonderful bridge between the mysteries of the East and the sciences of the West...well documented, well written, and enlarging both. Enlightening...nicely depicts outstanding advances in energy psychotherapeutics, thus ultimately helping to move forward the human condition."Maurie D Pressman MD, Emeritus Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA; Emeritus Chairman of Psychiatry, Albert Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia PA; past President, International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, Lafayette, CO, USA.

Download or read book Integrative Pharmacology based Research on Traditional Medicine Methodologies Medical and Pharmacological Applications written by Hai Yu Xu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ntegrative Pharmacology can be used to determine the multi-pharmacological effects of traditional medicines such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Kampo, Sa-sang, Ayurveda, etc.). Through qualitative and quantitative pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) correlations among multi-constituents and multi-targets, integrating chemical profiling, ADME/PK processes, molecular network calculation and resulting experimental validation, the use of Integrative Pharmacology has become widespread. The data has provided a novel paradigm to evaluate the druggability of bioactive ingredients of herbs or formulae, to decipher the pharmacological mechanisms of drug action and to screen potentially new indications for approved drugs and previously unidentified adverse events. On this basis, Integrative Pharmacology may offer an effective way to test the potential scientific basis for traditional medicines and to assess what roles of traditional medicine can and cannot play in pharmaceuticals.

Download or read book Cultivating Perfection written by Louis Komjathy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work focuses on early Quanzhen (Complete Perfection) Daoism, a twelfth-century Daoist religious movement and subsequent monastic order. Emphasis in this first study to approach Quanzhen from a comparative religious studies perspective is placed on the complex interplay among views of self, specific training regimens, and the types of experiences that were expected to follow from dedicated praxis. On the basis of historical contextualization and textual analysis it is demonstrated that in its formative and incipient organized phases Quanzhen was a Daoist religious community consisting of a few renunciants dedicated to religious praxis. The study proper is followed by a complete annotated translation of a text attributed to the founder, which represents one of only two early Quanzhen texts translated to date. Subsequent appendices address issues of dating and contents of the early textual corpus as well as technical Quanzhen religious terminology.
