One of my favorite parts of this book is that the author also ...
In his new book, Chinese Holistic Medicine in Your Daily Life, Steven Cardoza, M.S, L.Ac. provides the reader with a very in-depth overview of the medical science of Chinese Medicine, giving detailed examples of all the branches of Chinese Medicinefrom Acupuncture and Herbs to Diet and Lifestyle. He provides helpful examplesof Acupressure, as well as Qigong and Taiji. He also includes detailed charts on thetheory of Chinese Medicine, explaining the concepts of Yin and Yang, as well asdetailed explanation of the meridians and vessels of the body, even breaking downthe different organs and their pairs. He gives advanced Chinese knowledge of howthe meridians are paired, as well as detailed charts on point location and anatomical drawings to locate the meridians and points on the body. The author gives Qi Gong exercises for each major organ and meridian pair, as well as discussionof Chinese Herbal Formulas for the main organs. One of my favorite parts of this bookis that the author also discusses dozens of different illnesses and the Chinese MedicalTreatment for them, including Qi Gong exercises, Acupoints, the Chinese patentremedies, beneficial foods, and nutritional remedies for each condition. All in all, Iwould have to say Steven Cardoza did an exemplary job of delving into the fieldof Chinese Medicine, its theory and practice, while integrating the Westernperspective, and making this timeless system of Chinese Medicine with all its vast and complex branches understandable and accessible to anyone interested in owning this book.

Excellently Written and Very Informative
For the New Beginner at Home User trying to understand Traditional Chinese Medicine this book is a great start. It is full of information that has been intuitively written for the new beginner at home to learn the fundamental basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It discusses may facets, such as, Acupressure, Pressure Points, Herbal Medicine, Chinese Herbal Mixtures, Qigong, Qi, Main Functions of Organs, Pathways, Beneficial Foods and Food Medicines and so much more. I didn't go wrong with this book and I don't believe others will either.

Comprehensive and well organized
This book packs a lot of information, from many sources, and yet it is clear and accessible. It is well organized: it starts with an overview chapter, followed by two main parts. The first one explores key concepts in Chinese medicine such as Qi, the meridians, yin and yang, an more. The second part explains how to diagnose and self treat various problems, using acupressure, Chinese herbs, diet, and Qigong. The last chapter here is particularly useful, as it is organized by common conditions with prescriptions for treating them.Steven Cardoza understands Chinese medicine deeply and presents it in a clear and convincing way. This book is accessible enough to read through, but is also great as a reference book, or to address particular problems.
