This book is an essential reference for the TCM classroom and clinic that teaches how to use and understand conventional lab testing in the treatment and referral of patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on symptoms that commonly present in TCM practices, the book groups the lab tests by diseases or systems. Within each chapter are TCM case studies and perspectives, as well as multiple choice quizzes that test the reader's knowledge. Co-written by a doctor of Western medicine and an acupuncture physician, the book aims to familiarize TCM practitioners with the terminology and methodology of lab tests, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western schools of medicine and promoting an integrative approach to improve the overall care of the patient.","brand":"Singing Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":36656582983846,"sku":"9781848192058","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0411\/2161\/1942\/products\/9781848192058-original.jpg?v=1770365761"},{"product_id":"combining-touch-and-relaxation-skills-for-cancer-care","title":"Combining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care","description":"Massage, aromatherapy, reflexology and a variety of relaxation techniques are frequently used in hospices, supportive care settings and some hospitals. However, there are still gaps  and limitations in the choices offered to patients. HEARTS (Hands-on, Empathy, Aromas, Relaxation, Textures, Sound) was devised to bridge this gap for complementary therapists, patients, carers and health care professionals. HEARTS can be used either on its own, or integrated with a conventional complementary therapy. It can also be used easily by health care workers (and carers) who are not qualified in any therapies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy discussing principles which may influence the effectiveness of touch and relaxation therapies, the book emphasises that there are 'easy' approaches that can be utilised when working with distressed and vulnerable patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy developing an understanding of touch, aromas and the sound of the human voice, \u003ci\u003eCombining Touch and Relaxation Skills for Cancer Care\u003c\/i\u003e guides practitioners in helping their patients achieve a state of relaxation and calm as quickly and easily as possible.","brand":"Singing Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":36656794304678,"sku":"9781848193529","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0411\/2161\/1942\/products\/9781848193529-original.jpg?v=1770366647"}],"url":"https:\/\/uk.singingdragon.com\/collections\/medical-equipment-devices-and-techniques.oembed","provider":"Singing Dragon - UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
