About the book >.>.> In the Western world the concepts and philosophy fundamental to Oriental medicine are rarely considered by those who aim to adopt the methods and offer therapy based upon the described tech niques. There is a common misconception that the methods centuries old are easily mastered and can be practised effectively either by reading a text or attending a weekend seminar. My own introduction to Oriental medi cine occurred in Malaysia and came from a Buddhist monk who was in his tenth year of training; yet he would not be con sidered safe to practise either massage or acupressure until he had completed a further five years of study. Sent to study the Western medical approach he was amazed at the inability of the qualified persons he met to read their patients by using hair texture skin feel tongue colour or pulse variation to name but a few of his tools.
