Reader comments
This book "Medicine Correction" is very interesting. It corrects many of our misunderstandings about traditional Chinese medicine. I always thought Chinese medicine was mysterious before, but after reading this book, I have a clearer understanding of the theories and treatment methods of Chinese medicine. In particular, the book's discussion of the deficiency and excess of yin and yang reminded me of my own fatigue and exhaustion when delivering express delivery. It turns out that this can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine methods. "The wind is inside, it is cured by pungent and cool, and supplemented by bitter and sweet." This sentence is really inspiring. I think this book is not only suitable for professionals to read, but also for those of us who are interested in traditional Chinese medicine.
