5.0 out of 5 stars A clear concise overview of a beautiful and complex subject:, 23 May 2001
By A Customer
As one of the joint principles of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, Angela Hicks is an expert in the field of acupuncture. In this book she takes you through all of the basic concepts of Chinese Medicine: Yin & Yang, the 5 Elements, Qi, the Meridians, the causes of disease etc, whilst illustrating them with quotes from her own patient's experiences. This is what makes the book so digestible: her art at making such a complex subject simple and comprehensible in combination with illustrating Chinese Medical theory with patient's experiences; thus bringing it alive. This book is a must for anybody interested in acupuncture and would like to know more: from its theory, to what a consultation and treatment entails, and the most obvious and natural question 'Does it hurt?'. It is also a good handbook for practitioners who wish to be more fluent in their explanations of Chinese Medicine to their patients. This book was given to me as a present before I became a student of acupuncture. It helped me as a layperson, and now as a practitioner I find it a good source to draw on to remain coherent to my patients.
