Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine- Giovanni Maciocia

Podrobný popis Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine- Giovanni Maciocia

Examination of the tongue, like the pulse, is one of the principle diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. This book is a thorough, clinically oriented exposition of tongue diagnosis by one of the most respected teachers and practitioners of Chinese medicine in the West. Each of the major aspects of the tongue (body, color, shape and coating) and its relationship to the diagnostic process is systematically described. The author also traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its role in the evolution of traditional Chinese medical theory and practice. Featured in this newly-revised edition are 59 color plates selected from the author's practice which vividly illustrate many of the types of tongues that are commonly found in the Western clinic. Accompanying the plates are case histories which demonstrate the application of the principles of tongue diagnosis in actual practice. Other aspects of tongue diagnosis newly described in this revised edition include the integration of tongue and pulse diagnosis; the use of the tongue in diagnosing emotional problems; tongue diagnosis and herbal therapy; using the tongue for prognosis; and special considerations regarding tongue diagnosis in children. The appendices provide a summary of the traditional principles governing the identification of disease patterns (six stages, four levels, three burners) and their relationship to tongue characteristics. A glossary of technical terms, bibliography and a detailed index are also included.
