Working on Emotions in Chinese Medicine
Emotions are an integral part of our lives and play a significant role in Chinese medicine. It is worth reflecting on how what we feel affects our health and well-being.

We often neglect the emotional aspects of health, but understanding our feelings can bring us many benefits. The psychology books I recommend on my blog can help with better management and discovering how to find emotional balance in everyday life. I recommend them to everyone who is entangled in a world of intense emotions and dilemmas they cannot free themselves from on their own...

I encourage you to explore this topic. It can be a valuable journey into yourself that brings relief and harmony. Tested on thousands of people...

Chinese Medicine Psychology  Paperback – 2020
Garvey  (Author),  Lifang  (Author)

 allows access to invaluable resources and is an indispensable guide for Chinese medicine practitioners, students and healthcare professionals.
Chinese Medicine Psychology  is destined to be one of the definitive texts in the field for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional and psychological disorders. Several chapters in part one carefully delineate core concepts from the Su Wen, Ling Shu, Nan Jing, Jin Gui Yao Lue and the work of Zhang Jing-yue (as recorded in the Lei Jing/ Categorized Classic) . The second part of the book builds on this understanding to explain the foundations of how classical Chinese medicine views essential aspects of human life, mind, and the emotions. In part three, clinical applications are presented built on material and formulas from Zhang Zhong-jing's  Jin gui yao lue / Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet , with case histories. As culture is a major influence on psychology, the authors also compare Chinese and Western approaches to psychology, noting similarities and differences. I highly recommend this text for all practitioners, as  xin li xue /psychology is an essential subject that demands clear explanation of terminology, concepts, diagnostics and/or overlays of Western views of the mind and psyche. -- Z'ev Rosenberg, L. Ac.

Chinese Medicine for Childhood Anxiety and Depression 
Rebecca Avern (Author) 

Tackling mental-emotional health problems in young people from a Chinese medicine perspective, this book shows how a child's mental-emotional health is intrinsically connected with core elements of their everyday life. It suggests an approach to preventing and treating anxiety and depression that involves neither medication nor costs anything.

Part One of the book explains Chinese medicine concepts related to mental-emotional health in a way that is accessible for those with no prior knowledge. It includes chapters on how to recognize a child's Five Element imbalance and how children of each element type need a different kind of nurture and lifestyle in order to remain mentally-emotionally healthy. Each chapter in Part Two examines a particular pillar of mental-emotional health such as connection, family life, emotions, and diet through a Chinese medicine lens. Each chapter is full of practical tips. Throughout, there is an emphasis on guiding parents and practitioners to discern what is right for a particular child, and that each child will need something different.

Addressing childhood anxiety and depression using a unique, accessible, and practical perspective,  Chinese Medicine for Childhood Anxiety and Depression  is an invaluable book for practitioners and parents alike.

Exploring Philosophy, Art, Zen, and Cooking According to the Five Elements
China is a country with a rich culture where philosophy, arts, and culinary traditions intertwine, creating a cohesive whole. At the heart of this tradition is the concept of the Five Elements, which not only relates to cooking but also to our daily lives.

The Five Elements — sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty — are not just tastes but also natural elements that have a place in every meal. Cooking according to this philosophy allows us to create dishes that harmonize with our bodies and minds. Using the right ingredients in the right proportions can support our health and well-being.

But that's not all. China is also the birthplace of profound philosophical thoughts. Thinkers like Confucius and Laozi taught us how to live in harmony with nature and how to find balance in everyday life. Martial arts, calligraphy, and traditional painting are not only forms of expression but also ways to develop inner harmony and peace.

On my blog, I share books that connect these various aspects of Chinese culture in an accessible way. From culinary guides to philosophical essays, each of these titles will allow you to delve into the mysteries of Chinese thinking and arts. I encourage you to explore these topics — it's an excellent opportunity to enrich your life with new flavors and inspirations, leading to greater balance and harmony.
