Written by world-renowned author and teacher Giovanni Maciocia,
Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine, 2nd Edition is a
comprehensive, highly illustrated, and easy-to-understand resource. With
a focus on clear interpretations of "real world" signs and symptoms,
this new edition addresses the practice beyond the theory and leads you
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 students and
practitioners alike carefully interpret a wide range of diagnostic
nuances.
