ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
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.
- Provides a clinical understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Offers an unparalleled depth of information that is meticulously cross-referenced
- Includes all the signs and symptoms, however subtle, that a modern patient may present in the clinic
- Provides clinical experience and understanding from a leader in the field of Chinese medicine
- Clearly outlines the decision-making options in key situations to help readers through the most challenging topics
- Logically organized so readers can quickly find the information they need in clinical situations
USER REVIEWS
"I found this to be an outstanding text. It is the most complete works on traditional Chinese medical diagnosis that I have seen on the market. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a complete overview of the subject matter."

"This is an excellent book for TCM practitioners. It covers a wide variety of diagnostic techniques all included in one book (rather than having to buy 20 short books with similar info). From face diagnosis, to nail diagnosis, to in depth pattern recognition (for thin necks to swollen ears to stomach aches), Maciocia has included it all. I found the part about using palm lines to show tendencies towards certain types of diseases very interesting. There are colour plates in the back of the book that show examples of body type, tongues, and skin conditions.
The only problem I see is that it can be a little hard to find what you are looking for until you get used to using the book. With all of the info covered, Maciocia included a "How to use this book" section in the begining to help with that. "
