5 Chinese Medicine texts you shouldn’t live without [Video]

chinese medicine video blogI’ve been figuring out how to take Deepest Health to the next level.  It seems important to start diversifying media.  Text is great, but the power of the Internet doesn’t stop there.  I’m going to begin experimenting with audio and video content to see how best to integrate them into Deepest Health.  I’m planning a Podcast series, tentatively on Fridays, that will probably be me rambling about some of what I learned in the given week.  I will also be adding interviews with professionals and students when I am able to get them.  I will also do Video when possible, particularly when that medium will add something special to the given content.

In the video below, I’m mostly just getting used to the medium.  I tried to provide some value for you folks, though, by talking about the five books that are practically glued to me right now.  :)  You’ll notice product links in the video, I hope they’re not too annoying.  I’m also unsure whether RSS/Email subscription readers will be able to see the video - you may have to come to the site to see it.  I encourage you to do so!  Please give me feedback about this new format.  Don’t worry, text will continue.  Depending on the situation, I may offer transcripts to folks who request them because they aren’t capable of using the audio or video content.  Contact me for more details.

Note:  Brief reviews of the following texts are included in this video:

1.  Acupuncture Desk Reference

2.  Arnaud Versluys’ and Heiner Fruehauf’s formulas text

(Link for the above text points to the NCNM bookstore - you may have to contact them by phone or email to order the book.)

3.  Bensky’s Formulas and Strategies

4.  Mitchell/Wiseman’s Shang Han Lun translation

5.  Deadman’s Manual of Acupuncture

(Links for the last three texts are within the video itself.)

Enjoy!

    Oh my goodness! I love what you’re doing with this site. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of work you’ve put in to it, what a great resource it’s becoming. See? I’m gone a couple of weeks and now I have HOURS of reading (and watching) to catch up on. Thank You!

    Hey,

    I really enjoy the quality of the content here. It would be great to have a podcast that has the same high standard. Chinese Medicine pickings on itunes are very slim! Looking forward to your developments!

    Rob,

    Thanks! I just finished my first podcast, out on Friday. It will probably take me a bit to get used to the new medium and get great content out there - but bear with me and we’ll have something on iTunes yet! :) Thanks again and look forward to hearing more from you in the comments…

    Eric
