I am interested in learning a little more about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Can you recommend any good resources?
We have found the following books to provide a good basic background to TCM without being too technical:
- Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine by Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold (Emphasizes constitutional and emotional health)
- The Web That Has No Weaver: Understanding Chinese Medicine by Ted J. Kaptchuk (Appropriate for those with a western medicine background)
- Ancient Healing for Modern Women by Xiaolan Zhao (Provides information on general women's health)
- The Infertility Cure by Randine Lewis (Deals with fertility challenges)
Michelle was with me through every step of the process and is a true asset to the Oriental Medicine community! I truly believe that I would not be holding my beautiful baby girl if it wasn't for her help, love and support! I will be forever grateful to her for all she has done for me! I was able to conceive, carry and give birth in a natural way without the use of any pharmaceutical drugs. Thank you Michelle! I recommend her to anyone who is trying to get pregnant with fertility issues and for anyone who wants a healthy pregnancy and birth!”
