The Eight Immortal Healers: Taoist Wisdom for Radiant Health

This is one of the best books I have read on taking charge of your own health as much as possible. Especially the 4th chapter. An interesting read as well.

My daughter first read this from the library. She was heart broken to have to return it so I bought it for her birthday along with "The Inner Smile" and "Fusion of the Five Elements". She is so pleased to have them all.It was disappointing however that the book is slashed by what seems to be a box cutter. It goes through the cover and first few pages.

This is a great read, especially if the reader is familiar with Eastern medicine and trend of thought. An outstanding reference source which we bought and gave to all our children. The information contained in this work is of tremendous value.

I’m loving this book with its simple and profound teachings.

We bought a statue which began our interest and our search into these clever people. I haven't gotten through the entire book, but I find it to be very informative.

Very informational and important a must read for all who want a basic understanding of Taoism and longevity.

I got this for my cousin, and she likes it.

I hate writing bad reviews, but this is just not a good book.The title is misleading. This book is not at all about the eight immortals and their representations of aspects of healing. The actual eight immortals each get about one page, much of it the same info you would get from Wikipedia. There is a weak attempt to tie them to different categories of healing, missing the obvious point of their characteristics (The ancient Chinese did not create an archetype for electrotherapy). The rest of each chapter is a scattered collection of natural health articles from various traditions, almost none of it Chinese.I was so excited that someone had written a book about this important subject, and so disappointed at the actual book.I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because at least it is written clearly and maybe someone reading this doesn't already know about ph balancing or yoga.

In depth and covers a lot of ground regarding ancient oriental practices for longevity.

This is a book to live by!

Good

excellent book

She loves it and won't stop recommending the book
