This book is quite informative. It is very quick to go over examples of trials done, but hard to follow the exact technique for Zone Therapy.I have enjoyed the book and picked up quite a bit of information from it.

If you are interested in traditional chinese medicine(TCM), you will definitely love this book! Firstly, its such a thick book with tons of information. There are several sections in the book. There is a section where he lists out diagnostic of conditions and how to trace it to the cause of the problem (eg. kidney deficiency in yin; or heart and kidney not communicating, or heat in lungs etc). Then there is another section which lists the natural properties of each food (almost any kind of food you can think of, from duck eggs to strawberry, gancao(herb) to mulberry, honey to rice. Another section he talks about the origin of each herb, and what the herb is used for (eg treating false fire condition). Great book! I am buying another one for my mum to read!

Review of Chinese Home Remedies: Harnessing Ancient Wisdom For Self-healing (Paperback)

I got the book as a birthday gift.After leafing through it, I admit that I had my doubts about some of the treatments listed in there. I never imagined that the needles on the hairbrushes can work like acupuncture needles. After I tried it for my knee pain, to my surprise, it worked.I haven't had the opportunity to try other treatments in the book (thank god), but I will keep it handy just in case.
