It Is Worth Having, Reading, Practising

It is accurate, and it completes spiritually and practically each one involved in the I Ching system.

The Medical I Ching: Oracle of the Healer Within

While I agree with the previous reviewer that this book is gonna be hard to use by someone who knows little or nothing about Chinese medicine, as a professional practitioner of Chinese medicine, I and my many patients have found this book invaluable for helping to clarify otherwise hazy situations. The I Ching needs to be interpreted no matter what use it is put to. So you have to contemplate the hexagrams and moving lines from several points of view: trigrams, yin and yang lines, map of the body, image, and commentary. For me, this book provides a new and different starting place to think about my patients' problems. It is not a simple cook book for "looking up" precise medical diagnoses and what to do for them. Personally, I don't think the previous reviewer has really hung out with this book or the I Ching in general. I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to interpret the I Ching from a medical point of view.
