Chinese Nutrition Therapy: Dietetics in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 2nd edition

I am in my first year in TCM school. Wanted a book on TCM nutrition that would give me a base of knowledge to bridge me over til my classes came around in the cirriculum. This book was easy to use and gave information about the foods nature, cookings influence on food, and foods and cooking methods for specific patterns. Very pleased with my purchase.

Great book, lots of information also general of Tcm and including acupuncture points. Great advice for healthy eating.would buy again.

This is my class text book. It seems a very good buy even if your not in class. Information in life is power.

I'm torn - this book has some excellent information, easy to read and set up nicely/logically. However, I do have some issues with the some of the temperature natures of foods being different depending on where you look - yes strange. For instance, butter is neutral, warm in one section and cooling in another. Plus, I have issues with this just in general from book to book - shouldn't it always be the same no matter what resource you are looking?I do have to say overall this author does impress me, but I am a bit worried about the inconsistencies.

They say that your food is the herbs of the meadow. What you put in your mouth is more than often that which sustains you and gives you your daily health. The foods in modern living can often fall short of a complete culinary healthy experience.Here is a realistic presentation of recipes and remedies for a multitude of conditions; often not covered by a Western dietitian's repertoire.

Very informative and organized. I really like this book. It was not as large as I thought it was from the way the cover looks. But....packed with lots of great information.

The layout of the book is nice and the concepts are presented clearly. This book covers the basic and covers them pretty well. For a more thorough coverage of food, nutrition, TCM, and other alternative diet therapeutic principles THE book to get is Paul Pitchford's "Healing with Whole Foods". I refer to this book more than just about any in my library and it always gives me insight and perspective.With that being said, my main problems was not with the lack of breadth of 'Chinese Nutrition Therapy', because, frankly that is not what the book is meant to be. It is meant to purely be a treatise on TCM diet therapy. My problem with the book is its ridiculous price tag. $45 for a small, couple hundred page paperback book is unreasonable and I refuse to purchase any more overpriced, slick books. Take into consideration that 'Healing with Whole Foods' can be gotten on Amazon for about $25 and is 700 pages of solid info--both basic and more detailed.The TCM publishers need to stop taking advantage students and charge reasonable prices for texts--especially basic, small, paperback texts. Unless required for class, skip this one and go for Pitchford's classic.

Very good book and easy to follow!!

Would recommend for anyone interested in Acupuncture and Chinese nutrition

Came in great condition

Al ser tapa blanda sale a mitad de precio y para mi gusto es más manejable para consultar. Muy buen contenido.

It's a really good book

I was not very impressed by this book, after having spent that kind of money, not very detailed, and for a practitioner not enough information, if you look for a good book in this category, use the book " Healing with whole foods" by Pitchford. I liked it much better, very detailed, and the price is right. This book I would recommend for someone to get an idea of the principle, but not for serious studies.
