Focusing on head energetics as the root of pathologies of the head, this book is the first to take the Classical Chinese perspective. Headache and allergy complaints make up a significant part of patient presentations, and Montakab offers a needed and refreshing perspective.

Recensioner i media
It was a great delight to read this book by Hamid Montakab who has behind him a lifetime of practice, research and teaching. Thorough, well-researched, careful and meticulous, yet with a clarity and simplicity of knowledge quite unusual in this field. Excellent and clear discussion of pathologies, conditions, case-histories and treatments, all in a very open and flexible way - much more akin to the classical Chinese model, than some earlier texts. Not the least is the inclusion of contemporary research at the end of each chapter.
