Author Description

A famed acupuncturist in Texas and a former faculty member at Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ms. Yiming Wang has treated and cured plenty of cases of both common and rare diseases. In this book she reflects on some of the most typical cases, not only trying to sum up efficient and repeatable treatment, but also tracing to the different perspective of Chinese and western philosophy towards life and diseases: in Chinese culture, disease is just another form of vital activities as the body reacts to outside stimulus; instead of interrupting the process with medication and surgeries, the role of acupuncture and Chinese tradition medicine is more to help the body regain its self-healing power to cure itself. Ms. Wang also looks back to the long hard way acupuncture entering the US and the dilemma Chinese traditional medicine has been facing, in an effort to explore a new way for Chinese traditional medicine to integrate with modern medicine.
