Angela Hicks Books

The Chinese described the emotions as being a cause of ill health as early as 200 BC. It is now universally recognized that anger, guilt, joy, jealousy, fear etc have a strong effect on our body.

This exciting new textbook gives a clear, detailed, and accessible presentation of the main features of constitutional five element acupuncture treatment. It covers the context and history of this form of acupuncture, as well as the relevant Chinese medicine theory. After examining the elements themselves, and the functions of the Organs, the book explores the basis of diagnosis in five element acupuncture, possible blocks to treatment, and the treatment itself. It puts this style of treatment into the context of other styles of acupuncture treatment - especially Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it is used in the West today.

Includes the basic theory of Chinese medicine, an account of traditional Chinese diagnosis, patients' first-hand accounts of their treatment, and basic advice on finding a practitioner.

Using the wisdom of 2,500 years of Chinese Medicine, Angela Hicks helps you follow the five laws for healthy living so that you will feel energetic, positive and happy to be alive.
