Western medicine separates human organs one from another. There are many specialist doctors for various organs. Every specialist observes and cures every organ. In the contrary, according to Yin-Yang theory and theory of five elements, a Singshe doctor observes and cures patient as a whole. The Five elements and Zang organs are wood/ liver, flame/heart, soil/ spleen, metal/ lung, and water/ kidney which are inter-related one another as one unity that cannot be separated.
The basic theory of Traditonal Chinese Medicine is universal and easy to understand. This book is composed based on texbook of TCM Medical Faculty in China by a writer who has tens of years of experience in practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine in his daily work. This book is worth reading.
