The modern world is a nightmare for our mental health. Does modern medicine have the answer? For many patients, the answer is, unfortunately, “no.” But there may be another way. For two thousand years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been effectively treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other conditions using herbal medicine and other healing modalities. In this book, Cheng and a team of renowned practitioners and scholars of Chinese medicine share practical, accessible remedies and protocols you can use to improve your mental and emotional well-being. Extensively supported by historical primary sources and modern clinical research, the book offers an introduction to traditional Chinese medicine and its unique approach to mental health. Each chapter covers a common mental health condition—anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, brain fog, and trauma—exploring how Chinese medicine has historically approached these conditions, describing common patterns associated with unique symptoms, and prescribing specific remedies you can access in your everyday life. This includes:

Readily-available herbal formulas Self-massage and acupressure Qigong protocols Meditation and visualization exercises Five Element Music Therapy Food and tea therapy, and more
