Written in a narrative form, this book provides a new and creative approach to learning Chinese medicine theory and history. Told in the context of a child taking lessons from their grandparents over afternoon tea, this primer explains key concepts such as Yin/Yang, the five elements and the Chinese Biorhythm Clock.
This is a creative, entry-level book on Chinese medicine theory, philosophy, and concepts told in an accessible, story-telling format in the context of a child visiting their grandparents over the summer and having lessons over afternoon tea. It presents the theory of Yin/Yang, the five elements, the Chinese Biorhythm Clock and the placement of the channels with a logical explanation in a narrative style. With a dialectic approach, it not only aids Chinese medicine students in understanding the Classical texts, but also nudges students away from memorising information and towards a deeper understanding of the channels and relevant theories.

Jonathan Shubs is a Canadian acupuncturist who lives and practices in Switzerland. He is the creator of the Unified Acupuncture Theory system and teaches this internationally. He is also a lecturer at Chiway Academy for the Healing Arts in Switzerland where he teaches undergraduate students and CE.
