Having dealt with several hundred cases of Covid-19, Angelina Cai was consulted by more than 200 people suffering from what is now called long Covid, a form of the illness that can leave after-effects, sometimes disabling ones. Thanks to her book, we now know that solutions exist and that there are grounds for hope, even in serious situations. The same holds for monkeypox, which traditional Chinese medicine has long known and treated.

A qualified acupuncturist, Angelina Jingrui Cai was introduced to traditional Chinese medicine in her youth by her grandfather, coming as she does from a family of physicians spanning several generations. Besides caring for her patients, she teaches this age-old knowledge to health professionals and continues her research, for illnesses evolve, as do we and the energy of Nature — as Covid-19 and long Covid remind us.
