Traditional Chinese medicine not only has a different understanding of cancer and how it can be treated, but can also be extremely effective in supporting cancer treatment by orthodox Western methods. In particular, it can help to alleviate many of the side effects of orthodox treatment.
Henry McGrath draws on his many years as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine to distil the complexity of the Chinese approach to cancer for Western readers. Recognising the importance of both physical and mental well-being, he explains the practical strategies to promote the health of the body which draw on ancient Chinese medical and philosophical wisdom in mind/body cultivation. The book covers a wide range of treatments, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Feng Shui and Qi Gong, offering the reader a sound basis on which to explore these treatments further.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches to Cancer will offer relief and inspiration to people living with cancer, their families, and the medical professional who work with them.
