Chinese Medicine for the Mind: A Science-Backed Guide to Improving Mental Health with Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780760391259)

Break free from anxiety, panic, depression, and dysfunction with ancient herbal remedies and mind-body practices from traditional Chinese medicine.

The modern world is a nightmare for our mental health. Does modern medicine have the answer? For many patients, the answer is, unfortunately, "no." But there may be another way. For two thousand years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been effectively treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other conditions using herbal medicine and other healing modalities. In this book, Nina Cheng, founder of Chinese medicine company The Eastern Philosophy, and a team of renowned practitioners and scholars of Chinese medicine, share practical, accessible remedies and protocols you can use to improve your mental and emotional well-being.

Supported by historical primary sources and modern clinical research, the book offers an introduction to traditional Chinese medicine and its unique approach to mental health. Each chapter covers a common mental health condition--anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, brain fog, and trauma--exploring how Chinese medicine has historically approached these conditions and prescribing specific remedies you can access in your everyday life. This includes:

• Readily-available herbal formulas
• Self-massage and acupressure
• Qigong protocols
• Meditation and visualization exercises
• Five Element Music Therapy
• Food and tea therapy, and more

For anyone who has struggled with their mental health or is looking to better understand traditional Chinese medicine's approach to healing both the mind and body, this book offers a natural, time-tested way to a healthier mind, a calmer heart, and a more peaceful life.
