Editorial Reviews

This is a valuable book for Chinese Medicine and qigong practitioners. As a Chinese Medicine and qigong practitioner myself, I felt that not enough attention was paid to the Extraordinary Vessels and Organs in my university degree course. The author does a great job in restoring some of the spiritual and Daoist concepts back into Chinese Medicine. I recommend this book to Chinese Medicine students and practitioners because I am sure it will deepen their understanding and expand their view of Chinese Medicine, restoring some of its lost depth.
