Between
Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine,
by Harriet Beinfield, L.Ac. and Efrem Korngold,
L.Ac., O.M.D. A book on Chinese Medicine that is
completely accessible to the lay reader. Between
Heaven and Earth opens a dialogue between Eastern
and Western views on not only medicine but nutrition
and lifestyle as well.
The Web That Has No Weaver, by Ted Kaptchuk
is the classic, comprehensive and surprisingly easy
read that captures the theory and practice of Chinese
medicine. It is called "a foremost authority in
synthesizing Western and Eastern healing practices".
Not just for the student of Chinese Medicine.
For
the more adventurous, Five Spirits by Lorie
Dechar is a more esoteric adventure into Eastern
Medicine. One of the senior faculty members at the
acupuncture school I attended, I have had the pleasure
of attending many of her classes and Grand Rounds
where she treats patients using an acupuncture form
she has developed from her many years of practice.
