Reviews

"This book covers all the basic tenets of Chinese medicine and gives the reader practical tools to evaluate their constitution and discover how to balance mind, body, and spirit. I will keep it as a handy reference and will refer to it throughout the year as my body and the seasons change."--Elana Rosenbaum, author of Being Well (Even When You're Sick)

"Everyday Chinese Medicine awakens the reader's health awareness with teachings on nutrition, herbs, lifestyle suggestions, and other alternatives that can result in safer, more enduring healing experiences."--Paul Pitchford, author of Healing with Whole Foods

"Mindi Counts offers us a timely gift from the ancients; a gift full of practical wisdom and knowledge that is tremendously relevant and important to modern-day health and well-being. She has created a comprehensive path to finding the balance and harmony we need to take more responsibility for our health before we fall into patterns of disease."--from the foreword by Marlow Brooks, LAc, author of Singing Our Heart's Song: A Guide to the Five Elements 

"This nicely done book presents a clear and perfect introduction to basic principles of Chinese medicine and understanding unique constitution and physical balance. The information is aided by charts, photographs, and diagrams to explain individual constitutions, the five-element theory, and problems with deficiencies and stagnation. The book walks the reader through the seasons, cleverly addressing each one separately to note seasonal effects on the body and suggest nourishing practices and a half dozen healthy recipes for each season. The organs supported by each herb, along with its Chinese energetics and uses are described. Add simple herbal formulas, a few recipes, self-care practices, and the result is one of the best introductions to traditional Chinese medicine I have seen."--American Herb Association
