Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin im Fokus

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity. Whether for simple colds or serious illnesses, more and more patients in Germany are placing their trust in it. However, there is clear evidence of efficacy for very few therapies, be it acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, or dietary therapy.

Is this broad application justified from the perspective of Western medicine? Do diagnostic and treatment methods deliver on their promises? This book, written by a physician who has also studied TCM, objectively, critically, and honestly examines the effectiveness of alternative medical methods. It dispels several myths surrounding TCM regarding herbal mixtures, acupuncture needles, and dietary recommendations. Although this knowledge is thousands of years old, it should be considered and evaluated in light of scientific verifiability.

The book is aimed at health-conscious individuals who are enthusiastic about alternative medicine while seeking scientifically supported information.
