A Barefoot Doctor's Manual: A Concise Edition Of The Classic Work Of Eastern Herbal Medicine (Cyclopedia)

Fascinating and wonderfully informative, this American translation of the official Chinese paramedical manual received great praise when we originally published it in 1977. This classic work is now available in our convenient, company Cyclopedia format. Unique in its integration of Western and traditional Chinese medicine, the manual was first prepared in the 1950s by medical authorities in the People's Republic of China. Based on the theory of homeostasis, or the balance of life, it's a valuable reference guide to herbal healing, acupuncture, acupressure, and the relationship between emotions and physical health.
