๐ **Some personal clinic news**
I'm pleased to share that my second book, **Chinese Herbs Made Simple**, is now available.
The main reason I wrote this book was not book sales, but education. Many people are curious about Chinese medicine but often feel confused by it.
Chinese medicine is not simply:
**โthis symptom = this herb.โ**
It is much more individual than that. We look at the whole person โ digestion, sleep, stress, pain, energy, temperature, recovery and overall pattern.
The aim of the book is to explain Chinese herbal medicine in clear, plain English, with a strong focus on safety, proper assessment and understanding each person properly.
It is not a self-prescribing manual. It is a patient-friendly guide to help people understand Chinese herbal medicine more clearly and safely.
For me, it is really an extension of what we try to do at **Achieve Health โ Retford Acupuncture**: help people understand their health more clearly, and support them with careful, personalised care.
A heartfelt thank you to the patients who have placed their trust in the clinic over the years โ this book grew out of those conversations.
If you know someone who is curious about acupuncture, Chinese medicine, natural health, pain, stress, sleep, digestion or womenโs health, please feel free to share this post with them.
And if you are living with an ongoing health concern and would like to know whether we may be able to help, you are very welcome to get in touch.
Warm wishes,
Malik
