Analysing Common Drugs through the Lens of Chinese Medicine
By Randine Lewis
This integrative text weaves western medical understanding into the framework of Chinese medicine, allowing practitioners to confidently make sense of how the energetics of pharmaceuticals impact their treatment plans. It delves into the most common illnesses for which medicines are prescribed, including diabetes, mood disorders, hormonal imbalances, and high blood pressure, and how patterns of imbalance manifest in the body through the lens of Chinese medicine. This is paired with guidance on how prescribed pharmaceuticals impact the underlying energetics of the physiological system. Rather than encourage a binary approach to treatment, Pharmaceutical Energetics instead develops a synergistic understanding between Chinese Medicine and Western medical thought.

52 Weeks of Powerful Acupoints for Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Health
By John Kirkwood
With its practical and immensely readable introduction to the nature and self-help uses of a key acupoint for each week of the year, this book is a gateway to the mysterious world of Chinese medical thought.
The author journeys through the seasons of the year, and the five elements that make up the Chinese universe, looking at the physical, emotional and spiritual associations of the most useful acupoints associated with each element.
Exploring the deeper meaning of the name, function, and healing use of each acupoint, he shows how to use the acupoint in real life, and explains its practical benefits for the reader, which vary from sharpening a sense of smell, avoiding jetlag, curing a headache, to improving a good sense of humour.
With descriptions and images that capture the spirit of each element, and photographs of the point locations, this book will be a delight to anyone interested in a different view of the body and its deeper health, as well as students and practitioners of Chinese medicine looking for poetic and imaginative understanding of the five elements, and the key acupoints of each.

Chinese Medicine and the Management of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
A Guide for Practitioners
By Paula Bruno
Hypermobility conditions are more common, complex and varied than the majority of practitioners realise. Every hypermobile patient is unique, and therefore challenging to treat using only a pre-set paradigm or protocol. The hEDS population can be underserved by Western medicine. This book is one of the first of its kind - a Chinese Medicine text focusing specifically on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This is an incredibly timely arrival, given that Chinese medicine can serve a number of issues faced by EDS patients including fatigue, pain, supporting gut health and reducing anxiety. An integrative approach is utilised throughout the book. It presents the existing biomedical narratives before focussing on an in-depth exploration of the Chinese Medicine paradigms, and sketches guidelines for potential integrative treatment scenarios.

Pranayama Lost in Translation
From the Hatha Verses to Practice
By Angela Andrea Ashwin
We seem to have forgotten what Yoga is and where it comes from. In a way, we stole Yoga from India and pretended it was ours. In the West, Yoga is perceived merely as a physical practice centred on movement and breathing. But Yoga is an ancient tradition passed down through verses from generation to generation. By studying the ancient verses, you will bring together the physical and philosophical practice of Yoga and experience its true meaning. The result of decades of pranayama practice, teaching and researching classical Indian scriptures, this book aims to revive the original meaning of pranayama in the West. With reference to the original scriptures, this book will explain Yoga terminology and offer practical instructions for those wishing to go deeper on their pranayama journey.

Restoring Prana
A Therapeutic Guide to Pranayama and Healing Through the Breath for Yoga Therapists, Yoga Teachers, and Healthcare Practitioners
By Robin L. Rothenberg, Kirsteen Wright

Vedic science and physiology are broken down and explained in accessible ways. The book presents a new understanding and application of breathing to address a wide range of ailments, including C OPD, asthma, hay-fever, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, sleep apnoea and neurological conditions.

The human microbiome and its resident micro-organisms have in recent years come to represent a new frontier in health research and science. Yet this body of knowledge has hitherto been little addressed within Oriental Medicine theory and has consequently been underutilised in practice.

Building on an understanding of the body as a complete ecosystem where symbiotic relationships maintain balance in both mind and body, this integrative model sheds new light on an area that has seen rapidly growing interest both in and out of scientific communities

in Palliative Care

The specificity of this approach and the emphasis of empowering patients to be involved in the process of choosing oils and applications, allows for improved results in the palliation of common symptoms.

The Memory Palace of Bones
Exploring Embodiment through the Skeletal System
By David Lauterstein, Jeff Rockwell
Exploring embodiment through the skeletal system is an unprecedented exploration of the anatomy of the bones of the body, and a unique set ‘of reflections on the role each individual bone plays in our lives, looking at both its physical and energetic contributions. The book began as a proposal from Dr Rockwell who wanted to write a work focused on the bones of the body, in a manner similar to Lauterstein's earlier book, which focused on the major muscles of the body, looking at their role in our structure and movement, and more generally in our lives. In discussion together they decided to write the book as an exchange of "letters" on each bone, partly inspired by John Berger and John Christie's beautiful correspondence, I Send You This Cadmium Red. There is no other book quite like this one.
Hip and Knee Pain Disorders
An evidence-informed and clinical-based approach integrating manual therapy and exercise
By Benoy Mathew, Carol A Courtney
This book has been written to provide a state-of-the-art, evidenceinformed and clinically-informed overview of the examination and conservative management of hip/knee pain conditions. Under the current predominantly evidence-based practice paradigm, clinician expertise, patient preference, and best available research determine examination, and prognostic and clinical management decisions. However, this paradigm has been understood by many to place greater value and emphasis on the research component, thereby devaluing the other two. Evidence-informed practice is a term that has been suggested to honor the original intent of evidence-based practice, while also acknowledging the value of clinician experience and expertise.

Full-color photographs illustrate the use of the therapy in these commonly-treated areas: Cervical spine and head Shoulder, Elbow, wrist and hand, Thoracic spine and chest, Lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint, Hip and pelvis, Knee, Ankle and foot
Beginning with the primarily treated structure, 'myofascial junctions' are discussed; first regionally in a distal and proximal direction, and then within a functional myofascial chain. This unique approach greatly simplifies the various IATM procedures for the reader to easily implement in practice.
The concept is based on scientific evidence and has been developed in close collaboration with leading scientists and practitioners in the field of myofascial therapy. The text provides a pragmatic, evidence-informed approach to IATM practice.

A wealth of illustrated step-by-step directions are given for somatic practice at each koshic level. The practices shared have been in use in clinical yoga therapy, in workshops and in classes for the past thirty years.
