Eight Extraordinary Meridians

The work of sinologists Claude Larre and Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee allows us access to the classical origins of Chinese medicine. Through their detailed study of the Nei Jing and their commentaries , we are connected to the perceptive minds of the classical authors. Claude Larre's profound understanding of the philosophical and cultural background Elisabeth Rochat's thorough knowledge of the medical classics provide a unique insight into the eight extraordinary meridians and the fundamental interaction of yin and yang within the body. The value of this work has increased with the death of Claude Larre in December 2001.
