This is another of Blue Poppy’s popular "Curing Series." IBS stands for irritable bowel syndrome, a combination of abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and/or constipation. Chinese medicine treats IBS extremely well, and this book explains how it goes about this. Besides discussing acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, it also gives many self-help tips and free, home therapies, including the three free therapies of diet, exercise, and deep relaxation. A glossary at the back makes unfamiliar Chinese medical terms easy to understand. In addition, there is a bibliography and an index. If you or anyone you know suffers from IBS, this is a book you need to read.
PUBLISHER COMMENTS: With this book, we have tried to give the reader a new way of looking at and dealing with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, a way that is different from what is already available on this subject and is based on the 2,000 years of accumulated wisdom of Chinese medicine.
AUTHOR COMMENTS: This book is useful for everyone who suffers from irritable bowel syndrome. Chinese medicine is especially effective for treating this condition, largely due to the unique therapeutic effects of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. When professionally administered acupuncture is combined with Chinese herbal medicine and dietary therapy and a judicious use of Chinese medical home remedies, one has a very effective yet holistic treatment regime which heals without any side effects. Although there are other books on IBS which tout the latest cures of modern Western medicine, the treatments in this book have been developed, refined, and tested over 2,000 or more years by 100 generations of highly educated, professional practitioners.
