This book is a astounding compendium of medical wisdom. At nearly 1000 pages of text, even before you get to the appendices and index, it is a monumental undertaking. It is very well designed - from introductory chapters about Women's Physiology and Pathology (nearly 70 pages in total), to the chapters about individual conditions and their diagnosis and treatment - the material is broken into manageable sections, historical information is given, diagnostic principles and treatment suggestions are explained, and case histories are given. Even if I'm not looking for information about a specific condition, it's a good read, as the clarity of its writing and the depth of explanations have an impact on my own approach to the medicine.One of the distinctive features of this book is that not only are individual etiologies presented (e.g. PCOS due to Dampness or Damp-Heat), but the author also includes combined patterns and discusses their characteristics and treatment strategies (e.g. PCOS due to Damp-Phlegm, Kidney-Yang deficiency and Blood Stasis). This alone puts this book in a league of its own, and is a very helpful feature. The author also discusses the case histories and Modern Chinese Literature reports in terms of their weaknesses and strengths - likewise an instructive feature.All in all, this is one of the best books on Chinese medicine I've seen, and I am pleased to have it on my shelf. It will continue to inform my practice and make me a better practitioner for decades to come.
Giovanni Maciocia manages to explain the intricacies of Chinese Medicine in a way that is relatively easy to understand. His knowledge is profound and his ability, immense. His books form the foundation of my library on Chinese Medicine.
This book was ment to be In good condition and the spine of the book was broken... I find this to be misleading and misrepresenting the quality of the book... This is unacceptable
As always, Maciocia brings his scholarly insight and clinical expertise together in a well written, coherent text book. There is an excellent section on herbalism in midwifery and detailed info on pregnancy from Chinese medicine perspective. I suspect this volume will feature prominently in my practice for years to come.
I love this TCM book and will never get rid of it. As an acupuncturist who is looking to specialize in women's health, this was a fantastic purchase. The layout is perfect and it provides enough information without going into to much detail for those whom have a grasp on the TCM concepts already. This book is great for TCM students as well as licensed practitioners. I do not recommend this book to the public as this information will not make sense to anyone who has not completed or currently going through Traditional Chinese Medical training.
Great book! Maciocia provides lots of information and he is very detailed and thorough with his information. One of the better books I've bought.
Wow. I really like Maciocia's books, but this one is fantastic! A great reference for any student of Chinese Medicine!
detailed - a great text to have
