Vital Healing and Celestial Healing Set

In Vital Healing, Dr Marc. S. Micozzi unfolds the compelling idea that vital energy is the unifying concept that underpins and connects the medical traditions of Middle Asia. Describing the origins, health strategies, diagnostic approaches, and modern-day uses of each tradition, he draws parallels to, and finds correlations with, mainstream Western concepts - and demonstrates how all these therapies fit within the context of their own cultures and ours. Providing a panoramic overview of the medical traditions of China, the Malay Peninsula, the Indonesian Archipelago, the Philippines, Indochina, Korea, and Japan, Celestial Healing offers compelling insights into the influence of vital energy in these traditions, as well as the pull of other cultural traditions, such as those of India and Islam. Dr. Micozzi discusses evidence for the efficacy of these healing practices and their influences in the West, describing how a reader might consider seeking a practitioner from one of these traditions.
These groundbreaking books will be of interest to practitioners of all Middle Eastern and Asian medical traditions, complementary and alternative health practitioners, and anyone with an interest in Middle Eastern and Asian approaches to health and well-being.
