TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

All too often, books on Traditional Chinese Medicine base their theory and therapeutic strategies on disease. The ancient books, on the other hand, are based on the patient's energetic state. Understanding this state means being able to act as the “second doctor”, observing, provoking or assisting the “first doctor”, who is the patient himself. However, if we base our treatment on disease, we run the risk of taking the place of the first doctor and acting in the wrong direction (Dr Li Xin). In accordance with the Huang Di Neijing, Dr Li Xin works at “the third level” like good TCM doctors. The authors believe that this quest is essential for all those seeking to understand the true essence of TCM and should be shared.This is how the idea of writing this book together was born.
