Chinese
medicine
and
Ayurveda
are two of the oldest
healing
systems in use today. Each is a complete art, in and of itself, and has profoundly contributed to the health and well-being of millions of people around the world. Drawing on their shared roots and spiritual principles, Bridgette Shea, L. Ac., MAcOM, shows how these two practices integrate seamlessly, with the two
traditions
' individual strengths harmonizing to form a practical basis for prevention, wellness, detoxification, and treatment. The author explains the foundational principles of both

practice

Chinese
medicine
and the dietary, detoxification, and spiritual guidance of
Ayurveda
, including the detox branch of
Ayurveda

She provides tools for self-assessment including a primer on tongue diagnosis and a mental, emotional, and physical constitutional questionnaire. Offering treatment and prevention strategies that draw from both disciplines, she encourages the reader to implement an
integrated
practice

practice

healing
traditions
