A Tooth from the Tiger’s Mouth: Traditionally, Chinese martial arts masters have kept their highly prized remedies for injuries as carefully guarded secrets, calling such precious and powerful knowledge "a tooth from the tiger's mouth." The author, a Chinese sports medicine and martial practitioner, presents a broad range of healing strategies for common injuries such as sprains, bruises, cut wounds, breaks, dislocations, tendonitis, and muscle tears. Readers will discover methods for examining and diagnosing injuries, preparing and applying herbal formulas, assembling a portable "emergency" kit, locating ingredients and preparations, and facilitating recuperation with strengthening exercises and healing dietary guidelines.
