A TCM Way to be Healthy, Inside and Out
by Liqun Zhang


Prof. Liqun Zhang is a renowned practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Austria, Europe. This book is the result of a life of Eastern and Western Medicine and being at home on three continents, Asia, North America, and Europe. Prof. Zhang explains the basic principles of TCM. In an engaging and clear way, she shows simple methods to cultivate the mind, to set up a gentle routine for daily use, explains a number of effective Qigong exercises, acupressure and self-acupressure, moxibustion, foot massage, seasonal living, and the principles of personal constitution. She describes a healthy diet as a way to help the body heal itself. Some of these TCM methods have been practiced in China for more than two thousand years. The author reminds us that the TCM lifestyle is all about a do-it-yourself approach. Small changes in the daily routine can make a big difference. Not all methods need to be applied at once. But taking one step at a time, observing the body, and listening to what we feel, will eventually lead us to the physical strength we need. Prof. Zhang provides us with the tools TCM has to offer. Life is a journey! Being healthy is the most important and happiest thing we can have. Thank you all for reading.
