Chinese medicine has a long history, with the earliest records of its use in China dating back almost 3,000 years. This medical system includes several therapeutic methods: herbal medicines, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and acupressure, as well as the movement and massage therapies of Qigong, Taichi and Tuina, all of which have been studied, practiced and evaluated in millions of patients over time.

This book describes the use of these methods in Taiwan, with case reports detailing individual patient-healing experiences and interviews with patients revealing their thoughts about Chinese medicine.

When two patients suffer from an identical illness, it may happen that the same treatment is effective in one of these patients but remaining without effect in the other . . . well, illnesses may be identical but the persons suffering from them are different.

Before learning traditional Chinese medicine, I thought that the truth was either black or white, right or wrong. Entering the field of TCM, I felt like stepping into another world, driving me to look at life from a broader perspective. I am so honored to participate in a part of this book. I hope you enjoy the beauty of TCM and try treating yourself in a very different way.
