This book was released on 2013-09-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, a textbook of TCM diagnostics consists of two aspects: first, learning how to look for indications of a patient, including clinical signs, symptoms, and diseases; second, learning the syndromes to account for the indications. In clinic, a doctor diagnoses a patient to collect indications from the patient by observations, questioning, etc such as diarrhea, cough, pale complexion, red tongue, and so on. Each indication may be attributed to a number of syndromes in the vast majority of cases. On the other hand, each syndrome may contain a number of indication also. The traditional methods of diagnosis include: (1) diagnosis by observations; (2) diagnosis by auscultation (hearing) and olfaction (sense of smell); (3) diagnosis by interrogating the patients; (4) diagnosis by taking the pulse and palpation. Generally speaking, diagnosis by observations is to identify change that occurs on body surface of the patient by observations, including tongue diagnosis. Tooth marks on the tongue may be attributed to spleen energy deficiency, damp sputum obstructing middle burning space, both energy and yin in deficiency. Tongue without coating points to deficiency, internal dryness, cold, energy deficiency, heat at the nutritive level.

Download or read book Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine E Book written by Giovanni Maciocia and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2013-09-19 with total page 2092 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major, new book is a complete, easily accessed and highly illustrated guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. Emphasis is placed on "real world" issues and symptoms, and the text focuses on clear interpretations of signs and symptoms - the practice beyond the theory. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subjective appraisal of the patient's symptoms and signs - which form a pattern - many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are taken into consideration e.g. a patient's voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient's smell, tone of voice, glitter of eyes. Thus, Chinese diagnosis is based on a subtle appraisal of a patient's disharmony, which may not be a "disease" at all, and as such requires careful interpretation of a range of nuances. This book will help lead students and practitioners through basic on to sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation 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

Download or read book Modern Tongue Diagnostics in Chinese Medicine written by Hong Chun Yin and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-15 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to diagnosis and treatment through looking at the tongue.Modern tongue diagnostics combines traditional Chinese medical tongue diagnostics with bio-holographic theory, using the holographic reflections on the tongue to diagnose disease, thereby improving the accuracy of the diagnosis in terms of what and where the illness is. This book introduces in detail the theory of the tongue midline as well as the positions where various organs are reflected on the tongue, as well as the appearances of the tongue corresponding to various pathological changes in these organs. This book is the first to publicize the author's many patented tongue diagnosis images, such as the panoramic hologram image which for the first time revealed the position and posture of the human body as it appears holographically on the tongue, the head and neck gland distribution image, the head and facial features map, and more. The author, aided by the experiences of previous scholars, discovered the position and posture of the human body as it appears holographically on the tongue. The holographic state of the human body as it appears on the tongue is in a prone position, that is, the head area is reflected at the tip of the tongue with the face facing forward, the legs and buttocks are reflected at the back of the tongue, and the four limbs are reflected in a bent position on the two sides of the tongue. The author has discovered how the glands of the head and neck are mapped on the tongue, especially the map of the thyroid gland on the tongue, refuting the common belief about how the thyroid gland is reflected on the tongue. Contrary to common belief, the thyroid gland is not reflected on the two sides of the cervical vertebrae reflection area on the tongue, but instead is on the two sides of the upper jiao area (the upper third of the tongue). The author has determined the areas of the tongue where various organs are reflected, as well as the changes in tongue appearance corresponding to the diseases in these organs. For example, heart disease is often reflected on the tongue as cracks or sunken areas in the heart reflection area of the tongue. In many years of clinical experience using tongue diagnostics, I have attempted to combine tongue diagnostics with herbal medicine and acupuncture, and have attained significant improvements in clinical efficacy, and have created a shortcut for accelerating diagnosis and improving efficacy. This book will mainly introduce diagnosis and differentiation based on the tongue with some case study.
