This book offers a fresh English interpretation of the ancient channels in Chinese medicine, drawing from some of its most authoritative historical texts. It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine.
