Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (International Acupuncture Textbooks)

This book is amazing to help you study and learn more about the meridians!

I take forever to read but so far, amazing! Puts a lot of pieces I've picked up in other texts together in an easy to digest way (grateful). Even the complex stuff isnt overwhelming because of the book's thoughtful layout. Definitely recommend

This book reads easily and explains the majority of content in a manner easy to understand for people not familiar with chinese medicine.Strong points are: Chinese philosophy, e.g. Ying Yang, 5 Elements. Good introduction to Zang Fu and the meridians.However, it lacks a little depth in certain VITAL TO UNDERSTAND areas. I would have hoped certain aspects of TCM in more detail, for example the creation and circulation of the vital substances, e.g. Qi, Blood, Jing, and the entire Fluid Metabolism from a TCM perspective. These areas are lacking information and are not very helpful fro anybody wanting an introduction.
