5 out of 5 stars Learning never ceases to amaze me   December 16, 2008
I found this book incredible helpful from a massage therapy and bodywork point of view, as well as overall body awareness. A good book for MT and bodyworkers out there as well as anyone interested in opening their minds.


5 out of 5 stars Must have for first semester TCM students!   October 18, 2008
This book is the easiest and most complete "introduction" to Chinese medicine. Don't be discouraged if you find it complicated at times, Chinese Medicine can be that way in general. Kaptchuk has done a fabulous job at making it simple. If you're getting ready to enter a TCM school or just beginning, this is YOUR text. It is the BEST book introduction book I have ever read on TCM. My former TCM school didn't have it as required reading. BIG mistake! I was told by an instructor to read it anyway because it was going to give me a solid foundation. I practically devoured the book. Folks interested in Chinese medicine or want to get treatments or better understand their current treatments should read this book.


5 out of 5 stars Turns TCM more interesting by demystifiing it   September 19, 2008
five stars because could't give more. Definitely interesting. It is a good source for the non oriental student of chinese medicine. Not abstract mysticism but instead a non passionate discourse of the phylosophical background of TCM


4 out of 5 stars a great book for conventional physicians   July 28, 2008
i'm still busy reading the book (final chapters).
dr. kaptchuk succeeds in presenting the chinese phylosophy to physicians reared on conventional ideas and practice.
the book is very efficient in pacifying any conflict between the two schools of thought.
great book, great purchase.



5 out of 5 stars Best authority on chinese medicine i have ever read   June 24, 2008
This book is great for the student and profesional alike. It explanes everything in a way that is easy to get a grasp on. Im a second year student of T.C.M and recomend this book to anyone desiring a better knowledge of the practice.
