Minor Ailments, No Need to Rush: Three-Minute TCM First Aid

A stuffy nose in an air-conditioned room that forces you to breathe through your mouth, a headache from staying up late that leaves you unable to work, a baby so congested they cry until they spit up… These minor ailments aren’t worth a trip to the hospital!

This book contains no hard-to-understand traditional Chinese medicine theories. It simply explains “qi” as a “network of waterways in your body” that anyone can understand: a stuffy nose means the waterways are blocked, a headache means they’re overheated, and cold hands and feet mean they’re moving too slowly. Each remedy takes only three minutes: press two acupoints to clear your nose, drink ginger water to dispel the cold, or massage your belly to ease bloating. Even babies, pregnant women, and the elderly can use them.

Whether you’re a mom caring for a child, an office worker who sits all day, or an older person who doesn’t like taking medicine, just flip to the method you need. There’s no need to wait or suffer through minor ailments. Get quick relief in three minutes. Open the book and put it to use!
