Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine

• Author: Wang Ju-Yi , Jason D. Robertson
• Language: English
• Cover: Hard Cover

While most textbooks focus on the functions of organs in basic physiology or the use of channels in treatment, this book shows the essential relationships between the two. Theory and practice are linked by a detailed discussion of a channel palpation methodology developed by Dr. Wang that leads to more accurate and effective point selection, location and technique. Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine shows how a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between organ and channel theory can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better clinical outcomes. This book is a collaboration between Wang Ju-Yi, one of modern China's most respected scholars, teachers and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, and his American student and practitioner, Jason Robertson.
Applied Channel Theory in Chinese Medicine was developed during Mr. Robertson's apprenticeship with Dr. Wang in Beijing and is presented in a unique and highly readable format that preserves the intimacy of student-teacher dialogue, with questions and answers, stories and case studies.
