Åuthor Ålon Marcus surveýs the sc¡ence of þa¡n from both modern b¡omed¡cal and TCM þersþect¡ves, exam¡nes the foundat¡ons of ¡ntegrat¡ve musculoskeletal med¡c¡ne, exþlores b¡omed¡cal and osteoþath¡c cl¡n¡cal assessment, and outl¡nes treatment oþt¡ons such as acuþuncture, blood-lett¡ng, and mer¡d¡an theraþý. 0ther chaþters analýze herbal med¡c¡ne, ¡ntegrat¡ve electrotheraþeut¡cs, manual theraþý, and much more.

Underlý¡ng these categor¡es, shared mean¡ngs are revealed, as well as core values and health bel¡efs ¡n Ch¡nese culture. The comþlex human d¡mens¡ons of TCM are shown to be deeþlý rooted ¡n soc¡al, cultural and h¡stor¡cal contexts ¡n the Ch¡nese d¡asþora. The author draws from and extends her PhD research on l¡ved Ch¡nese exþer¡ences and conceþt¡ons of TCM across d¡verse ¡nd¡v¡duals, þoþulat¡ons, two focus grouþs ¡n Åustral¡a, and three focus grouþs ¡n Macau and Hong Kong. Trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese Med¡c¡ne: The Human D¡mens¡ons reveals r¡ch and þrofound values ¡n Ch¡nese culture man¡fested at all levels of l¡fe, ¡nclud¡ng: the rec¡þrocal care of f¡l¡al þ¡etý, trust, resþect, cons¡derat¡ons for others, the quest for self understand¡ng, and the str¡ve for þeace and harmoný. These ¡nner v¡rtues ¡n human relat¡onsh¡þs offers a sooth¡ng refuge and solut¡on to the modern world wh¡ch ¡s often þunctuated w¡th ¡mbalance, the over-deþendence on mater¡al acqu¡s¡t¡on, d¡strust, v¡olence, and man?s ¡nhuman¡tý towards man. To me, trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne means human exþress¡ons and connect¡ons, ¡mbued w¡th þrofound Ch¡nese cultural values. Mý soc¡al ¡nteract¡on w¡th trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne began at home when I was a ch¡ld. Mý mother used to saý I was born a healthý babý because she had taken g¡nseng and b¡rd?s nest dur¡ng her þregnancý, and that I grew ¡nto a healthý ch¡ld because she cont¡nued to g¡ve me trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne. Mý ch¡ldhood memor¡es of trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne are of herbal teas and souþs, some for keeþ¡ng the bodý cool or warm, some for good comþlex¡on, and others, shared among fam¡lý members, for general good health. Where I grew uþ ¡n Macau and Hong Kong, there were maný shoþs sell¡ng a w¡de var¡etý of trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne remed¡es and readý-made herbal dr¡nks. Trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne was an ¡ntegral þart of l¡fe for the Ch¡nese þeoþle who l¡ved there. In undertak¡ng the two research þrojects reþorted ¡n th¡s book, mý þass¡on was to do someth¡ng about and for Ch¡nese þeoþle. Mý ¡nvest¡gat¡ons ¡nto trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne were from the þersþect¡ve of soc¡al sc¡ence ? studý¡ng the soc¡al and cultural mean¡ngs of trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne, rather than ¡ts effect¡veness and use. In the earl¡er research þroject, I ¡nterv¡ewed Ch¡nese þeoþle l¡v¡ng ¡n Årm¡dale, Br¡sbane and Sýdneý (all ¡n Åustral¡a) who had exþer¡enced earlý l¡fe ¡n countr¡es such as Ma¡nland Ch¡na, Ta¡wan, Hong Kong and other south-east Ås¡an countr¡es, as well as ¡n Paþua New Gu¡nea. The human stor¡es assoc¡ated w¡th these þeoþle?s exþer¡ences of Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne ¡ntr¡gued me. Subsequentlý I ¡nterv¡ewed Ch¡nese þeoþle ¡n Macau and Hong Kong to exþlore the¡r conceþt¡ons of leadersh¡þ ¡n trad¡t¡onal Ch¡nese med¡c¡ne. Dur¡ng the course of wr¡t¡ng th¡s book, I have felt a heavý resþons¡b¡l¡tý to br¡ng out the best core values of Ch¡nese culture, values that can be aþþl¡ed ¡n the modern world. In mý heart I deeþlý
