My Medical Practice and Reflections of TCM
About This Book
-->
This is a collection of essays written by a skilled TCM practitioner with over 40 years of experience. The author shares his experiences and reflects on his medical career, illustrating in many instances with real-life case examples, in the hope that the book will inspire and benefit TCM learners. The content was previously published in Chinese by China Renmin University Press.
The book provides three main viewpoints: 1. Chinese medicine needs to be accurately positioned to guide professionals in practice; 2. The TCM essence of finding a cure with syndrome differentiation and treatment is emphasized; 3. Pulse diagnosis is essential when prescribing for a cure.
