Chinese Herbal Medicine for Beginners: A Comprehensive Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine

"Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has been utilized for many years to treat a wide range of medical conditions. It is founded on the ideas of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which emphasizes the necessity of balancing the body's Yin and Yang energies, understanding the Five Elements, and controlling the flow of Qi along the meridians. Chinese herbal medicine practitioners develop individualized treatment programs for their patients using a variety of herbs, including raw herbs, powdered herbs, and patented herbal formulas. Acupuncture is another essential TCM therapy modality in addition to Chinese herbal medicine. These two therapeutic methods work in tandem to give patients a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. Chinese herbal medicine does, however, come with concerns, such as possible side effects and interactions with prescription drugs. Patients should always consult with a licensed professional and let them know about any medications they are taking at the time. Patients should take into consideration the practitioner's education and training, licensing and certification, board certification, clinical experience, specialization, continuing education, communication skills, patient-centered approach, professionalism, and personal fit when selecting a practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine. Patients should have confidence in their practitioner's abilities to treat them safely and effectively and feel at ease with them."

Mad Dogs and Other New Yorkers: Rabies, Medicine, and Society in an American Metropolis, 1840–1920

"Rabies enjoys a fearsome and lurid reputation. Throughout the decades of spiraling growth that defined New York City from the 1840s to the 1910s, the bone-chilling cry of 'Mad dog!' possessed the power to upend the ordinary routines and rhythms of urban life. In Mad Dogs and Other New Yorkers, Jessica Wang examines the history of this rare but dreaded affliction during a time of rapid urbanization. Focusing on a transformative era in medicine, politics, and urban society, Wang uses rabies to survey urban social geography, the place of domesticated animals in the nineteenth-century city, and the world of American medicine. Rabies, she demonstrates, provides an ideal vehicle for exploring physicians' ideas about therapeutics, disease pathology, and the body as well as the global flows of knowledge and therapeutics. Beyond the medical realm, the disease also illuminates the cultural fears and political contestations that evolved in lockstep with New York City's burgeoning cityscape. Mad Dogs and Other New Yorkers is a probing history of medicine that details the social world of New York physicians, their ideas about a rare and perplexing disorder, and the struggles of an ever-changing, ever-challenging urban society."
