Resources

Here are a few book resources that are mentioned in the webinar. Please note Chinese herbal medicine is still an emerging field here in North America and in China there are many conflicting schools of thought. This leads us to recognize that all of these resources are limited in scope – or patchy in knowledge. We must call upon our critical thinking skills.
