70 ESSENTIAL TCM FORMULAS FOR BEGINNERS Ref: 2483

Bob Flaws

This book is a beginner's primer on the study of Chinese medicinal formulas and prescriptions. In it, Dr Flaws describes 70 essential TCM formulas - one, two or three formulas from each of 20 categories of TCM formulas. Using this core repertoire of formulas, the beginning practitioner will be able to treat the majority of patients they encounter. Rather than presenting hundreds of different formulas in an encyclopaedic fashion, Dr Flaws focuses on understanding the composition, indications, and modifications of a limited number of Chinese medicine's most famous formulas.

ATLAS OF CHINESE TONGUE DIAGNOSIS, Volume 1 Ref: BH95

Barbara Kirshbaum

Tongue diagnosis is a vital instrument used in Chinese medicine both for assessing the current health of a patient and providing a basis for prognosis. It also informs the practitioner about the underlying strength or weakness of the patient’s constitution. This atlas contains over 320 color photographs of tongues seen in a Western clinic. The photographs provide a graphic representation of a wide variety of common disorders. Each photograph is accompanied by a description of the significant features of the tongue, the corresponding Chinese diagnosis for each such feature, accompanying symptoms, Western diagnosis, and pertinent background information.

The presentation of the tongues is organized according to the nature of the underlying disharmony: Lung, Spleen-Stomach, Kidney, Heart, Liver. Other chapters focus on particular aspects of the tongue, such as pale tongues, cracked tongues, special coating, as well as those associated with heat disorders and blood stasis. The text is interspersed with many full case histories that describe aspects that are not visible on the tongue alone.

A final chapter surveys several cases which reflect how the tongue changed over the course of treatment, with before and after photographs. This systematic presentation provides the student and practitioner of Chinese medicine with a much deeper appreciation for the methodology of tongue diagnosis in Chinese medicine. An extensive and detailed index provides access to virtually every aspect of the hundreds of tongues presented in this atlas, and their interrelationships.

CHASING THE DRAGON'S TAIL Ref: B2A42

Yoshio Manaka

At the culmination of their professional careers, great Oriental physicians often write books setting forth the mature versions of their clinical vision, their creations and accomplishments. Chasing the Dragon’s Tail is a book in this tradition, but one that also charts a course for future explorations. Thus, while it details Dr. Manaka’s clinical system in its fullest and most effective form, it is also an invitation to further investigation by one of the most inventive Oriental practitioners of the preceding generation. The text introduces Dr. Manaka’s major clinical and theoretical accomplishments by describing how the "X-signal system" is the foundation of human topology, function, and response. In essence, the X-signal system defines qi, yin-yang, and the five phases as clinical events, just as traditional Oriental thinkers recognized these ideas through right-brain pattern recognition. While Dr. Manaka references some of the most advanced scientific thinking of our era -- information theory, holographic models and new paradigms -- his explanations are full of practical tests which readers can use to confirm his ideas for themselves. The core of the text is a complete description of Dr. Manaka’s treatment system. This is of great importance, not only because Dr. Manaka was recognized in both Japan and China as one of the foremost practitioners of his generation, but also because the system has already proven itself adaptable to many others. It is thus a clinical manual of unique value because it describes Dr. Manaka’s most important techniques: ion pumping and other root treatments, as well as his distinctive use of fire needles, channel stimulation techniques, sotai, moxibustion, and other modern Chinese and Japanese clinical developments. Beginning with a step-by-step template for formulating and confirming a diagnosis, Dr. Manaka provides the instructions necessary to apply these techniques quickly and with confidence. The text concludes with case histories and appendices that provide supporting technical details. RARE, out of print.

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.

Explores the enduring features of humanity's longest and continually practised systems of medicine. These two indigenous healing arts, arising independently in China and India, communed and exchanged experience, techniques and therapeutic substances over the epochs of their development. "Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine constitute the two major legacies for health and healing from the ancient world... The Taoist Yin-Yang philosophy and the three Doshas of Ayurveda, were used according to their respective cultural contexts to determine the most balanced and appropriate diet, herbs, exercises and lifestyle according to inherited constitution, life work and climate. In these times of maximum fragmentation, it is truly a miracle that the perennial truths and the healing capacities of these great ancient philosophies can arise. To this purpose, this valuable work should serve as an important contribution". - Michael Tierra.

THE TAO OF DETOX: The Secrets of Yang-Sheng Dao Ref: B2F04

Daniel Reid

Despite the wonders of modern medicine, the state of human health throughout the world is eroding at an alarming rate. The long-term accumulation of toxins and acid waste in our bodies - both from the chemically contaminated air we breathe and water we drink as well as the toxins we ingest in the form of low quality food, preservatives, and additives - damages our organs, corrodes our joints and arteries, enervates our nervous system, and inhibits our immune system. Chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, insomnia, and even acne, are all caused by the long-term accumulation of toxins in our bodies. In The Tao of Detox Daniel Reid combines traditional Eastern practices and the latest of modern Western thinking to offer detoxification methods that can repair in as little as seven to ten days much of the long-term damage done. He also explains the importance of “rational retoxification,” which allows the careful reintroduction of less healthy substances, and offers ways to counteract those toxins we can’t--or don’t want to--avoid, including alcohol and tobacco. Reid explains that, just as we care for our cars with regular tune-ups, by practicing periodic detox as well as “rational retox,” we can enjoy long and healthy lives and still be able to "eat, drink, and be merry."
