(Text)
Includes a review of the tongue's most important anatomical and physiological features! Pocket Atlas of Tongue Diagnosis With Chinese therapy guidelines for acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition.Hand in hand with the evaluation of pulses, inspection of the tongue is an integral part of the examination that is necessary to achieve a Chinese medical diagnosis, a so called "Syndrome Differentiation" (bian zheng). Concise and to the point, in its first section, this Pocket Atlas explains and illustrates the basic techniques of tongue diagnosis by showing the manifold individual characteristics of the tongue's shape and its modifications. In the second half, these features are demonstrated by using real case presentations, enhancing the reader's clinical understanding of tongue diagnosis. The lucid text is supported by full-color illustrations of diagnostic quality. Due to its compact and user-friendly form, this Pocket Atlas needs little space. Nevertheless, it contains a wealth of essential information that will interest practitioners of Chinese and conventional Western medicine, as well as students of both. 162 color photographs highlight the truth of an ancient Chinese proverb that says: Bai wen b ro yi jian (it is better to see something once than to hear it a hundred times).
