Yet its concepts and principles have been shrouded in mystery and obscure language. This path-breaking book strips this ancient science of its mystique and metaphysical pretentions and interprets it to strike common ground with biomedical science. Concepts like qi and meridians are interpreted not as physical entities, but as constructs to facilitate diagnosis and therapy using heuristic models. Written for medical professionals, philosophers of medicine and discerning readers interested in holistic therapies, the book offers a unique perspective of Chinese medicine in an advanced biomedical world. It has practical chapters on cardiovascular disease, irritable bowel syndrome and cancer, and a compilation of Chinese herbs. This second edition of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eTheory of Chinese Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e has new material on chronic diseases and the intriguing possible convergence of biomedicine and TCM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hai Hong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178326800X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783268009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Hai Hong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125371367679,"sku":"9781783268009","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7ae1e4e-3643-494b-add3-3e2e9d2b643b.jpg?v=1687442238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-of-chinese-medicine-hai-hong-9781783268009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
