Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for Women's Health: Bridging the Gap Between Western and Eastern Medicine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a western medicine girl all the way. Generally, I want a diagnosis, a prescription and then I expect to be returned to full health. But what if Western medicine doesn't work? What if Western medicine only treats the symptoms and does not fully solve the root problem? That's where traditional Chinese medicine comes in. This book helped me to understand that Western medicine does not have all of the answers. There is a reason traditional Chinese medicine has been around (and has been proven to work) for thousands of years. This book shows you how a holistic approach, herbal remedies, and a caring qualified practitioner can help ease the pain (and often cure) women's health issues like endometriosis and infertility by trying to treat and cure the root problem. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in women's health issues or who would simply like to learn more about how acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine works.

Product Description:
Effective health care for women is crucial. Women have suffered for years as Western medicine suggests drugs or surgeries to ease symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers natural resolution and has successfully treated gynecological diseases, infertility, a variety of illnesses and health problems facing women for over 5,000 years.

This book explores the potential value of TCM so that women can consider their treatment options. It also clarifies and broadens their knowledge of how TCM works and resolves gynecological, reproductive and menopausal disorders naturally and completely. This book also addresses:
* Amenorrhea
* Irregular or painful menstruation
* Polycystic ovary syndrome
* Pregnancy - related problems
* Perimenopause
* Insomnia
* Heart Disease
* PMS
* Infertility
* Menopause
* Incontinence
* Vaginal itching
* Headaches
* And more

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Women's Health examines nutritional and lifestyle tips to help you make better, more informed health choices, while correlating emotional health, such as stress, overwork, exhaustion and depression with physical health.

The goal of this book is to empower women so they become aware of the many successful treatment outcomes achieved by TCM and understand its potential benefits. Doing so would decrease the discouragement and despair felt by many women who cope with chronic health problems every day. Despite evidence of its effectiveness, women do not usually consider TCM as a treatment alternative until after receiving failed Western treatment. TCM and Western protocols can be used, and are used, concurrently.

It is a woman's right to consider TCM as a primary part of her health care. Its use can help many women - and men - overcome many health disorders.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for Women's Health: Bridging the Gap Between Western and Eastern Medicine (Volume 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine
for Womens' Health
by Dr. Kathleen Albertson
Reviewed byDr. Joseph S. Maresca

This book has many positive benefits for a wide constituency
of readers both young and old. The presentation would be helpful
for both men and women because common body systems and processes
are explored.i.e.

o kidney
o spleen
o liver
o lung
o heart
o pericardium system
o stomach
o small and large intestine
o bladder, gallbladder
o uterus and brain

There is a very extensive section on foods and the related
TCM thermal temperatures. Female infertility, fertility and
menopausal symptoms are explained at length with many
pertinent examples provided. The author provides an extensive
body system checklist so that patients can identify key elements
related to their condition.

More importantly, the presentation contrasts East and West
medicinal systems. The benefits of Chinese medicinal protocols
are as follows:

o The protocols are simpler and naturally based.

o The mind, body and spirit are integrally connected.

o The protocols are aimed at healthier living and not
simply disease ID and management

o The practitioners tend to spend more time with patients
in the analysis of the disease process.

o The protocols have an experiential history of 5,000 years or more.

o 8 patterns of disease are treated in Chinese acupuncture

The author separates the treatment modalities for a number
of chronic diseases; such as, fibromyalgia.
The standard acupuncture treatment utilizes acupuncture
channels, balancing Qi and blood flows, balancing emotional
and physical pain and the integration of treatment with
soothing herbal teas.

A beauty of the book is that major clinical studies are cited.
i.e. The Mayo Clinic Proceedings of 2007 tracked acupuncture
treatment of fibromyalgia in 50 patients and found reduction of
fatigue and anxiety in the subjects evaluated.
The presentation contains an extensive bibliography and
definitions section at the end of the book.
The Alternative Medicine-Definitive Guide by Burton Goldberg
contains 25 citations alone on the benefits of acupuncture
to patients.

The most prominent research citation is:

J. Cheung 's work on the "Effect of Electroacupuncture on Chronic
Medical Conditions in General Medical Practice"
A 4 year study in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine
13: 1985 : (pp. 33-38 )

I recommend this book as an important supplement to a personal
medical library. The contents can help alleviate your pain and
assist the conventional physicians with a more complete diagnostic
history of classical symptoms like stiffness,
pain sensations, bodily stress on major organs and a whole
plethora of issues too numerous to list in a finite book review.
Personally, I believe that a combination of acupuncture and the
services of a licensed physical therapist will provide the most
complete supplement to the services of a personal physician.

Dr. Joseph S. Maresca

You will find that not all the stories resulted in pregnancy. Some have resolved their infertility, in a variety of ways, while others continue on the journey. While the statistics are not encouraging, there are tools to help beat the odds and while this book doesn't promise to be a silver bullet or medical miracle, it will help those experiencing Infertility cut a few corners, have less frustration, gain knowledge, insight, hope, inspiration, encouragement, comfort and power and all the ammunition to tip the scales in their favor for successfully resolving their infertility.
