The
Foundations of Chinese Medicine
by Giovanni Maciocia CAc/Su Xin
Ming
The aim of the
present book is to give a detailed account of the theory of
Chinese medicine and acupuncture based on rigorous reference
to ancient and modern Chinese books, as well as to explain its
application in a Western practice. The theory covered is
common to both acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. In addition,
it discusses the use of the acupuncture points in detail and
the principles of treatment. Maciocia has had many years of
experience in practising and teaching Chinese medicine. He
believes that despite its origin some hundreds of years before
Christ, that it can be used to successfully diagnose and treat
20th century health problems, generated by a life-style very
different from that of the ancient peasant society, from which
Chinese medicine originated. He considers that the simplicity
of Chinese medicine makes it truly universal, so that it can
be applied to any society at any time.
