Concise and to the point this pocket atlas explains and illustrates the basic techniques of tongue diagnosis by showing the manifold individual characteristics of the tongues shape and its modifications. Observing the tongue - in conjunction with taking the pulse - forms an integral part of the examination needed to make a Chinese medical diagnosis.
The first half explains individual tongue characteristics and the second half combines these characteristics in real case studies, thus deepening the reader's understanding of tongue diagnosis. The clearly written text is augmented by high-quality, full-colour images.
Due to its compact and user-friendly form, this atlas contains a wealth of information that is of interest to both practitioners of Chinese and western scientific medicine as well as for students of either.
The 162 colour photographs clearly show the truth of the Chinese proverb:
