Chinese Medicine and Healing
Author: TJ Hinrichs
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 067425824X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
"Chinese Medicine and Healing is a comprehensive introduction to a rich array of Chinese healing practices as they have developed through time and across cultures. Contributions from fifty-eight leading international scholars in such fields as Chinese archaeology, history, anthropology, religion, and medicine make this a collaborative work of uncommon intellectual synergy, and a vital new resource for anyone working in East Asian or world history, in medical history and anthropology, and in biomedicine and complementary healing arts. This illustrated history explores the emergence and development of a wide range of health interventions, including propitiation of disease-inflicting spirits, divination, vitality-cultivating meditative disciplines, herbal remedies, pulse diagnosis, and acupuncture. The authors investigate processes that contribute to historical change, such as competition between different types of practitioner—shamans, Daoist priests, Buddhist monks, scholar physicians, and even government officials. Accompanying vignettes and illustrations bring to life such diverse arenas of health care as childbirth in the Tang period, Yuan state-established medical schools, fertility control in the Qing, and the search for sexual potency in the People’s Republic. The two final chapters illustrate Chinese healing modalities across the globe and address the challenges they have posed as alternatives to biomedical standards of training and licensure. The discussion includes such far-reaching examples as Chinese treatments for diphtheria in colonial Australia and malaria in Africa, the invention of ear acupuncture by the French and its worldwide dissemination, and the varying applications of acupuncture from Germany to Argentina and Iraq."

A Brief History of Chinese Medicine
Author: Peng Yoke Ho
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810228033
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This brief discourse is an introduction to the historical development of medicine in China, whose influence on Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia was profound and even reached far west into the Islamic world. The authors wish to make the interested reader aware of China's rich contribution to the world growth of the medical sciences. Too often the view has been taken that the history of medicine began with the discoveries of the Greeks and those ancient nations from whom they learnt. The authors want to redress this view and acquaint readers with a glimpse of the concepts and history of Chinese medicine and hope that they will feel encouraged to delve deeper. ... this volume is a compact, tantalizing excursion through centuries of medical tradition, in a range of cultures ... it does make a long, complex and fascinating history accessible to medical professionals and students of Chinese history who may be tempted to delve further into this rich and interesting field. American Journal of Chinese Medicine If you want a concise, easy-to-read, easy-to-absorb summary of events and trends from the 29th century BC to the present, this compact book will comfortably and quickly answer many questions. American Journal of Acupuncture Concepts of Chinese Science and Traditional Healing Arts gives an especially useful account of the historical achievements of Chinese medicine.

Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts
Author: Linda L. Barnes
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674018723
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
When did the West discover Chinese healing traditions? Most people might point to the "rediscovery" of Chinese acupuncture in the 1970s. In Needles, Herbs, Gods, and Ghosts, Linda Barnes leads us back, instead, to the thirteenth century to uncover the story of the West's earliest known encounters with Chinese understandings of illness and healing. As Westerners struggled to understand new peoples unfamiliar to them, how did they make sense of equally unfamiliar concepts and practices of healing? Barnes traces this story through the mid-nineteenth century, in both Europe and, eventually, the United States. She has unearthed numerous examples of Western missionaries, merchants, diplomats, and physicians in China, Europe, and America encountering and interpreting both Chinese people and their healing practices, and sometimes adopting their own versions of these practices. A medical anthropologist with a degree in comparative religion, Barnes illuminates the way constructions of medicine, religion, race, and the body informed Westerners' understanding of the Chinese and their healing traditions.

Book Description
In this book, we endeavor to introduce readers to the cultural background, origins and historical development of traditional Chinese medicine. We surveyed the most important events in its long history and the conditions that influenced its development, including the cultural and philosophical ideas and assumptions that led to the development of the particular methods and techniques of healing that characterize Chinese medicine. Our goal is not to give an exhaustive survey of the history and philosophy of Chinese medicine, but rather to convey the patterns of its development and allow readers to gain an understanding of the distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine.

De la médecine traditionnelle chinoise à l'époque islamique médiévale
Author: John Kaisermann
Publisher: Cambridge Stanford Books
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : fr
Pages : 164
Book Description
La médecine traditionnelle chinoise est une branche de la médecine traditionnelle qui se fonderait sur plus de 3 500 ans de pratique médicale chinoise qui comprend diverses formes de phytothérapie, l'acupuncture, la thérapie par ventouses, le gua sha, le massage (tui na), l'oseur(die-da), l'exercice (qigong) et la thérapie diététique, mais récemment aussi influencés par la médecine occidentale moderne. La médecine islamique a préservé, systématisé et développé les connaissances médicales de l'antiquité classique, y compris les principales traditions d'Hippocrate, de Galien et de Dioscorides. Pendant l'ère post-classique, la médecine islamique était la plus avancée au monde, intégrant les concepts de la médecine grecque, romaineet perse ancienne ainsi que la tradition indienne ancienne de l'Ayurveda, tout en faisant de nombreuses avancées et innovations. La médecine islamique, ainsi que la connaissance de la médecine classique, a ensuite été adoptée dans la médecine médiévale de l'Europe occidentale, après que les médecins européens se soient familiarisés avec les auteurs médicaux islamiques à la Renaissance du XIIe siècle.
