For over 20 years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been gaining increasing popularity in Europe, despite the fact that Western medicine is very successful in many areas. What can this Asian healing art offer us that our conventional medicine cannot fulfill? In this book, Dr. Stefan Englert explains how TCM works and answers questions about its advantages and limitations. He identifies causes of illness and describes the holistic examination process. He looks at patients not only from a conventional medical perspective but also from another viewpoint to understand the root of a disease. He dedicates significant space to specific treatment methods: from herbal therapy, acupuncture, and nutrition to Qi Gong and the Chinese massage Tuina. TCM is not only a remarkable healing method but also offers many practical tips for daily life.
