The Complete Book of Chinese Health & Healing: Guarding the Three Treasures

I was seeking for Chinese Herb information and ran into this amazing book! Not many of these are around so it was an easy purchase. On time delivery!

I am so happy I made the decision to puchase this book. It is so very interesting and informative, more than I ever dreamed it would be...It is easy to read, so interesting and really has me hooked on changing my lifestyle and diet. If you are exhausted (or broke) from our Western medicines and STILL unwell-you really should consider looking into Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book is the best place to start. The author takes you on a journey dating back 5,000 years ago and explains in detail the philosophy for cultivating health, vitality and spiritual awareness to improve your health, reduce stress, exercise your body and improve your diet. Buy it. You won't regret it. I am telling all of my family and friends about this book.

This is an EXCELLENT health guide! I can't express that enough! What I really like about it is it's written by an American with knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I've found that, often, when a book on TCM is written by Chinese, or Asian practitioners, it's hard to follow and they're not really accustomed to the way Americans eat or practice health, so you wind up not being able to "relate" to what they're talking about, or the terms they use are so esoteric, you can't follow what they're saying.But not so with Reid! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book as a starter, and for anyone who's been into TCM for awhile, because it is easy to read, with a lot of good recipes for TCM.FIVE STARS FOR REID!!!!

This is a pretty good introductory book to taoist philosophy, but is primarily meant as an introduction to how introduce taoist practices into your own lifestyle. In this regard I think the author did a pretty good job. Of course for someone already well versed with the basics this book doesn't add much so really is best for people with no prior knowledge of taoist beliefs or practices. Its sort of jack of all trades master of none deal. If you're looking for more depth on qi gong, meditation, food therapy, etc. there are plenty of more advanced works out there. That being said, this is still a useful reference.

this book was able to help me pin point how my heart attack came about; e.g. stagnating chi in my liver. I have improved my heart condition by the recommended foods, from some other books too.TCM says our emotions are in our heart and working with that I have been able to ease ensuing Angina by use of emotion confrontation and I have been able to impress my medicos with my improvements.

As always, Daniel Reid delivers thorough taoist work. How lucky we are to have this great taoist teacher who is able to explain highly sophisticated taoist items with ease! If you are going to start (or continue with) your Great Work, buy one, two or three of his books and you will be hooked for the rest of your life. Thank you, Daniel!

Not knowing what to expect, I was thoroughly delighted with the subjects covered in this book. More than just information to be mentally ingested, this book provides much info about Oriental philosophy, and energy exercises (chi gung). Although it could take a lifetime just to master all the material presented in this book, it is also a valuable reference for those wanting to complement their Western medical training.

Not what I thought it was about

A very interesting book covering lots of different things. Not sure all is relevant. It states that as chili is one of the nightshade family of vegetables, Chinese people do not eat it. However, Seschuan cuisine is hot and I presume that is from chilies.

Thank you for contributing to the circular economy with excellent reads!

Daniel Reid's book is exactly that: fascinating, well-written, and to the point. This book is a must for any Westerner who is trying to make amends with their body after abusing it through their teens, twenties, and thirties, with bad food and bad living habits.

Great book, comprehensive as well. Delivered on time. RDR
