This major, new book is a complete, easily accessed and highly illustrated guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine.
\nEmphasis is placed on real world issues and symptoms, and the text focuses on clear interpretations of signs and symptoms – the practice beyond the theory.
\nSince Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subjective appraisal of the patient’s symptoms and signs – which form a pattern – many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are taken into consideration e.g. a patient’s voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient’s smell, tone of voice, glitter of eyes.
\nThus, Chinese diagnosis is based on a subtle appraisal of a patient’s disharmony, which may not be a disease at all, and as such requires careful interpretation of a range of nuances.
\nThis book will help lead students and practitioners through basic on to sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation.
