Chinese medicine, with its 5,000 years of history and perspective, is an art of care that is as traditional as it is alive, gaining credibility and influence in academic medical circles.

Complex, based on knowledge, good sense and wisdom, it is a practice that helps us better understand ourselves and our environment. A preventive medicine par excellence, it is winning ever more followers. A book to open the door and begin!

Jean Pélissier, a leading French-speaking specialist in this discipline and author of many reference works on the subject, takes the time here to offer a remarkably accessible synthesis of the essential foundations of this art of health: dietetics, Qi Gong, massage, herbs, acupuncture and the management of emotions.
