About An Introduction To Chinese Medicine: A Patient’s
An Introduction to Chinese Medicine offers a concise overview of the landscape and therapeutic potential of traditional East Asian medicine. It combines historical perspectives, the latest research studies, and Dr. Daly’s two decades of clinical experience to provide an in-depth guide to anyone looking to understand and make use of the many modalities offered by Chinese medicine. Toby Daly’s text is a succinct and thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the art and science of Chinese medicine. For patients who wish to know more about the inner workings of the treatments they receive, and for students and practitioners who time after time need to find concise and meaningful answers to the question - “What is Chinese medicine?” Heiner Fruehauf, PhD, LAc Founding Professor, College of Classical Chinese Medicine National University of Natural Medicine This book is exactly what patients need to have a fruitful engagement with Chinese medicine. Peter Deadman Author of Live Well Live Long and A Manual of Acupuncture Now when your patients ask you for a book, they can read about Chinese medicine you now can give them one that does not attempt to teach Chinese medicine 101. Instead, it’s a thoughtful invitation to understand and access the 2000 years of practical medical wisdom of East Asia, with the Western mind in the modern world. More importantly, how they can avail themselves of the safe and effective methods of Chinese medicine. Michael Max, LAc Founder of Qiological This lovely book offers an accessible introduction to what are often strange concepts for our patients. Practitioners often feel that, to satisfy our patients, we need to explain or justify our medicine in western medical terms. Toby Daly succeeds in staying true to the basics of Chinese medicine without watering it down or compromising. He invites patients into our world. This will make it easier for us, as practitioners, to share a common ground with them and expand and continue the conversation. Thank you! This will be in our waiting room. Sharon Weizenbaum, LAc Founder of the White Pine Institute Finally, a concise and approachable guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine! This is the type of resource I have wanted to share with my patients during my more than 40 years of clinical practice. Angela C. Wu, OMD, LAc Author of Fertility Wisdom: How Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Help Overcome Infertility As a clinical practitioner of Chinese Medicine, my job involves more than the diagnosis and treatment of disease. I practice a medicine developed in a different time and place, and that often seems mysterious to the patients who come to see me, often because other, more "conventional" approaches have not yielded the results they seek. Often, these patients have an innate curiosity about what I'm doing. Why do I ask the questions I ask? Why do I palpate their wrists or abdomens? Why do I look at their tongues? And finally, how do I make sense of the seemingly disparate bits of information I gleam from these different approaches? Toby Daly has rendered us a great service, in that he has published a book which summarizes much of what we are called to communicate on a regular basis. The book is simple without being simplistic, and clearly explains what Chinese Medicine is, how it can be used, how it differs from other medical models, what evidence base backs it use, and more. There are a small number of books I am happy to recommend to those patients who are curious about delving deeper into Chinese Medicine, and Toby's book will now be at the top of my list as a general primer and introduction into this beautiful medicine.
