Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine by Beinfield & Korngold

Description: “Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding. Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify this centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold, pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine—theory, therapy, and types—to present a comprehensive, yet understandable guide to this ancient system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. This paperback is in excellent pre-owned condition. Like new but for a very small mark on outer pages at bottom (marker?) - see pics. Otherwise no highlighting or underlining, no markings inside or out. My son has recently taken a different path after having had a successful chiropractic/acupuncture/Chinese Medicine practice. So over the next few weeks I will be listing many of his textbooks/study/reference material pertaining to these subjects, most in pristine condition. Stay tuned to my listings if you are a student or practitioner of any of these persuasions. LOTS of material to list! I will combine shipping on multiple books if notified prior to payment. Contact me and I will send a combined invoice once I weigh the items together. Thanks!
