Description Easily accessible and heavily illustrated, this complete guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine places an emphasis on "real world" issues.
Focusing on clear interpretations of signs and symptoms, it addresses the practice beyond the theory and leads readers through both basic
and sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subtle appraisal of a patient's disharmony,
many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are considered, including a patient's voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold,
the patient's smell, tone of voice, and glitter of eyes. This practical resource helps readers carefully interpret of a range of nuances.
