The Tao of Books Bargains Chinese Medicine 1

Simon Brown

As it flows through the universe and to different parts of ourselves, chi energy carries information from one entity to another so that everything we experience has the potential to influence and make subtle changes in our chi energy fields. It is therefore vital that only "good" influences prevail. We are always radiating chi energy as well as absorbing it and some of this enrgy finds its way into other people's chi. This can be important to understand in relationships where, over time, your partner or colleagues will be able to pick up on your moods, thoughts, and deepest beliefs. With 4 chapters: Exploring Chi Energy introduces the principles of chi; Chi Energy and the Mind looks at how to change your chi energy field; Chi Energy and Your Body shows how to cure chi deficiencies; and Chi Energy and Your Emotions has exercises to enhance feelings of joy and happiness and dampen depression and sadness.

THE IBS BREAKTHROUGH: Healing Irritable Bowel Syndrome for Good with Ancient Chinese Medicine Ref: RWB0199

Leigh Fortson & Bing Lee

Millions suffer from IBS. There is no cure and very few traditional treatments - in fact, the latest drug was recently recalled after several patients died from its dangerous side effects! The good news is that all-natural, ancient Chinese medicine can help. In fact, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported a study that proved that Chinese herbs can have a dramatic effect on IBS. But most sufferers don't know this, and their doctors don't tell them, because they can't prescribe Chinese herbs and don't know how to refer their patients to a qualified Chinese herbalist. This book comes to the rescue. Leigh Fortson, who herself suffered from IBS and has kept it under control with Chinese medicine, presents advice on using Chinese herbs and acupuncture to heal IBS. She also explains the roots of illness in Chinese medicine and how one's emotional state can lead to physical symptoms. This book also includes interviews with Chinese doctors on their experiences healing IBS with herbs.
