This book provides a historically, socially, and culturally-contextualized portrayal of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as a complementary and alternative medical profession in the United States. Through interviewing TCM practitioners, observing in TCM schools and clinics, and referencing on classical Chinese medical and philosophical sources, the author explores the spiritual aspect of TCM and how “health” is understood and achieved in the TCM clinics.
