Treating Insomnia with Chinese Medicine

Treating insomnia is often approached from either a western  psychological and medicinal perspective or from a Chinese medicine  perspective. This clinical guide successfully synergises both approaches  and allows acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners the  opportunity to provide an integrated treatment plan which also addresses  the management of co-morbidities.
The first half of this book  presents the latest knowledge and research around insomnia from the  perspective of Western medicine and psychology whilst the second section  presents a synthesis of over 500 clinical experience reports published  by Chinese medicine clinicians. The latter half includes a focus on  diagnostic approaches, treatment modalities and the therapeutic aspects  clinicians should consider in their treatment of insomnia, all modified  depending on the season, the location and the sociodemographic features  of the patient.
This is a comprehensive yet accessible guide which  includes word clouds to allow the reader to grasp complex information  quickly and simple diagrams to illustrate complex information.
