In this innovative and unique book, Élisabeth Rochat de la Vallée presents the very foundations of Chinese medicine, the knowledge of which is essential to the understanding of theoretical and practical presentations.

Each key concept (e.g. qi, breath . xie, blood . ba gang, diagnosis...) is treated on a double page:

• on the one hand, the study of the Chinese character, its etymology, its spelling and the meanings it has in classical Chinese

• on the other hand, the meanings and uses of this notion in the context of Chinese medicine.
