Traditional Chinese Medicine can help people maintain and regain their good health. Chinese medicine itself incorporates a combination of the mind, the body and the spirit in the healing techniques. Oriental medicine uses various techniques which may include but is not limited to areas such as Chinese herbal remedies, acupuncture, moxibustion, tui-na, (a form of massage and body manipulation), electro-stimulation, infrared therapies, laser therapy, diet, nutrition, exercise, breathing and relaxation techniques, etc...

Oriental Medicine & Acupuncture Illustrated details all of the above listed techniques. It describes the acupuncture points, their locations, needle, and notes, along with extensive diagrams showing every point. There are also hundreds of symptoms/diseases and their treatments.

There are photos of over 100 common Chinese herbs in their raw forms along with descriptions of their use. In addition, there are over 100 photos of Chinese packaged herbs (generally in pill form) and details of their uses.

Anatomy and physiology, body manipulation, Meridians and Ear Acupuncture, the Five Elements and their four cycles, Yin/Yang, and much more are discussed in this extensive work by Dr. Bradley W. Kuhns.

A huge glossary defines hundreds of Western and Chinese medical terms. And there are four mini-lectures by Dr. Kuhns covering Chinese Patent Medicines, Chinese Medicine as an alternative and choice, Cholesterol control, and the use of Oriental medicine as as tool to fight disease and illnesses.
