The authors explicate the different view of life inherent in Chinese medicine by metaphorically comparing the Chinese doctor as a gardener to the Western physician as a mechanic. Within this context, Chinese medical concepts such as yin-yang, qi, moisture and blood, organ networks, and the five phases emerge as images that readers can understand experientially, not simply as abstractions. Comprehensive but technical.
