The theory of the Zang Fu is without doubt the backbone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is only through an intimate knowledge of the Zang Fu that TCM can be practised successfully. Jeremy Ross's book helps the reader reach this understanding, as it presents TCM authentically, as it is taught and practised in China today. From the moment it was released in English, the work aroused such interest that the first edition quickly sold out.

The author studied and practised Chinese medicine in Canton and Nanjing, as well as in the United Kingdom. He also has long experience of teaching TCM and, throughout the book, has striven to clarify notions that usually remain ambiguous or obscure for Western students. This book sets out the theory of the Zang Fu in a clear and systematic way. Numerous tables, figures and clinical cases also show how the theoretical principles find their application in clinical practice.

Zang Fu is a foundational book for anyone studying or practising acupuncture or other branches of Chinese medicine.
