books for Exploration

Below, I have listed a small number of books for further exploration of Chinese Medicine as well as the principles behind the Golden Ratio Acupuncture Clinic. That said, the best way to understand Chinese Medicine is to spend time observing Nature. Watch the changes in the weather, observe the behavior of the animals, embrace the changes of the seasons, and with the same curiosity observe how these things affect your physical and emotional self.
