Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi all, can anyone recommend some TCM books that are suitable for non-Acu's. I find I could recommend tons of textbooks but how complicated that would be for the average reader..... thanks, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Ann: There are some good textbooks published by the Shanghai Technology Press about Tui Na, Acupuncture and Acupuncture Composed Points. These are well-illustrated, which I find a strong plus. Another Shanghai university publishing house has a good series covering all aspects of TCM. Both series are published in English and Chinese. If they seem helpful will get the ISBN info for you. This question really depends on the information needs of your audience, do you have something specific in mind?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Check out the Blue Poppy collection - I use a lot of Bob Flaws series for my patients - they are well written, informative and give the patients a good foundation, which helps them take ownership of their own health and wellness. I have a library system at the office, so they can borrow the book for a week (usually between treatments) - they usually end up purchasing their own copy.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hi Kayte, Thanks for the great suggestion. I checked out their site and it seems to be just the ticket.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Jack, Thanks for the suggestion. Another member had suggested Bob Flaws/Blue Poppy Press that sounds the most feasible for me. I'm just looking for a layman's simple guide to " pain " type thing. Thanks for your help, Cheers, Ann mojavecowboy [mojavecowboy] October 22, 2004 7:11 AM Re: TCM books for civillians Ann: There are some good textbooks published by the Shanghai Technology Press about Tui Na, Acupuncture and Acupuncture Composed Points.
