A 'worthy and important' (Deepak Chopra) guide that demystifies Chinese medicine and explores the benefits of its three-pronged holistic approach



'Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts.'—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 break down 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.
