Traditional Chinese Medicine
Back to the sources for a modern approach
CHF/EUR 49.-
All too often, books on Traditional Chinese Medicine base their theory and therapeutic strategies on disease. The ancient books, on the other hand, are based on the patient's energetic state. Understanding this state means being able to act as the “second doctor”, observing, provoking or assisting the “first doctor”, who is the patient himself. However, if we base our treatment on disease, we run the risk of taking the place of the first doctor and acting in the wrong direction (Dr Li Xin).
In accordance with the Huang Di Neijing, Dr Li Xin works at “the third level” like good TCM doctors. The authors believe that this quest is essential for all those seeking to understand the true essence of TCM and should be shared.
This is how the idea of writing this book together was born.

Dr Li Xin
Dr Li Xin is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), graduated from Beijing University in 1993. He also obtained a master's degree in psychosomatic medicine in 2000. He was a student of Professor Song Zuo Ming, well known in China for his teaching of classical TCM and his experience in internal medicine and pediatrics. Specialising in herbal medicine and acupuncture, psychology and meditation, which he has been teaching for many years, he has developed his own approach based directly on the principles described in the Huang Di Nei Jing, the Shang Han Lun, the Shennong Ben Cao Jing, the Pi Wei Lun and the Wen Bing Tiao Bian, which are considered to be the main classics of TCM. He has worked as a doctor and teacher at the Shanghai Nature Path Academy Cultural Centre and the Ping Xin Tang Medical Centre in Beijing. He is also involved in the work of Acupuncture Without Borders and Barefoot Acupuncturists in India, humanitarian associations which support the promotion of health in remote and disadvantaged regions in the world, by teaching acupuncture. He has published three books on children's health, traditional Chinese medicine and mental health. Over the last fifteen years, he has regularly given Chinese medicine training courses in China, France, Japan, the USA and Switzerland.
