Download or read book Atlas of Chinese Tongue Diagnosis written by Barbara Kirschbaum and published by . This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tongue diagnosis is a vital instrument used in Chinese medicine both to assess the current health of a patient and to provide a basis for prognosis. It also informs the practitioner about the underlying strength or weakness of the patient's constitution.This new (2nd) edition of Atlas of Chinese Tongue Diagnosis contains over two hundred color photographs of tongues seen in a Western clinic. The photos provide a graphic representation of a wide variety of common disorders. Each photograph is accompanied by a description of the significant features of the tongue, the corresponding Chinese diagnosis for each feature, accompanying symptoms, Western diagnosis, and pertinent background information. The sequence of the photos within a chapter shows the increasing degree of imbalance among the body's energies.The presentation of the tongues is organized according to the nature of the underlying organ disharmony: Lungs, Spleen, Stomach, Kidney, Heart, Liver. Other chapters focus on particular aspects of the tongue such as pale tongues, cracked tongues, special coatings, as well as those associated with heat disorders and blood stasis. A final chapter surveys several cases that reflect how the tongue changed over the course of treatment, with before and after photographs. This systematic presentation provides the student and practitioner with a much deeper understanding of the methodology of tongue diagnosis in Chinese medicine.This second edition of the Atlas combines and reconfigures the content of the two volumes in the original edition into one new, integrated volume. The new edition retains most of the photos from the first volume and a number of case histories from the second. A few new photos that are particularly good examples of specific tongue colors or other signs have also been added. At the same time, some of the photos and case histories in the original volumes have been discarded to enhance the readability of the book and thus make it more useful as a single volume reference work.An extensive and detailed index provides access to virtually every aspect of the hundreds of tongues presented in this atlas, and their interrelationships.

Download or read book Gold Mirrors and Tongue Reflections written by Ioannis Solos and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the major texts in the history of tongue diagnosis are presented and put into context in this volume, reaffirming the strength of tongue diagnosis as a core diagnostic method. These key texts are made available to western readers for the first time, with typical, traditional Chinese editions reproduced alongside the translation. The author provides an excellent overview of the tongue diagnosis theories in the major classics prior to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), and discusses significant developments and publications. The Gold Mirror Records, first published in 1341, was a popular manual for centuries, appearing in many editions and variations. Tongue Reflections in Cold Damage, first published in 1668, developed the field of diagnosis as a whole by adopting the analysis of tongue colour as its main principle. Both texts are introduced with meticulous English translations and notes. This seminal text will give practitioners and students of Chinese medicine a sound understanding of the theory and practice of tongue diagnosis from the early texts, and will be of interest to academic readers of classic Chinese texts.
Download or read book Tongue Image Analysis written by David Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book offering a systematic description of tongue image analysis and processing technologies and their typical applications in computerized tongue diagnostic (CTD) systems. It features the most current research findings in all aspects of tongue image acquisition, preprocessing, classification, and diagnostic support methodologies, from theoretical and algorithmic problems to prototype design and development of CTD systems. The book begins with a very in-depth description of CTD on a need-to-know basis which includes an overview of CTD systems and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in order to provide the information on the context and background of tongue image analysis. The core part then introduces algorithms as well as their implementation methods, at a know-how level, including image segmentation methods, chromatic correction, and classification of tongue images. Some clinical applications based on these methods are presented for the show-how purpose in the CTD research field. Case studies highlight different techniques that have been adopted to assist the visual inspection of appendicitis, diabetes, and other common diseases. Experimental results under different challenging clinical circumstances have demonstrated the superior performance of these techniques. In this book, the principles of tongue image analysis are illustrated with plentiful graphs, tables, and practical experiments to provide insights into some of the problems. In this way, readers can easily find a quick and systematic way through the complicated theories and they can later even extend their studies to special topics of interest. This book will be of benefit to researchers, professionals, and graduate students working in the field of computer vision, pattern recognition, clinical practice, and TCM, as well as those involved in interdisciplinary research.

Tongue Diagnosis includes discussions and analysis of tongue shape, length, moisture, texture, color, coverage, coat, spots, froth, lines, cracks, thorns, eruptions, hollows, trapped heat, pulse vectors, sublingual veins, and organ function, all as described on the tongue. Much of this material appears in print for the first time including discussion of tongue diagnostics for all the channels of acupuncture, including Primary channels and the complement channels: the Eight Extraordinary, Divergent, Luo, and Sinew meridians. Throughout the theory, case studies, and frequently asked questions, there are methodical protocols that can deeply inform everyone's practice, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and of particular use not only to acupuncturists and herbalists but dietary practitioners, and beyond. The book includes the practice of correlating tongue indicators with advanced dietetics. Tongue Diagnosis contains 306 photographs and 96 diagrams. Designed and illustrated by Cody Dodo. Foreword by Dr. Hung Tran. Printed in the USA, London, or Melbourne. Hard Cover, 202 pages.
Download or read book Ayurvedic Tongue Diagnosis written by Walter 'shantree' Kacera and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 2007 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to offering a comprehensive understanding of the art of tongue diagnosis, this book includes ancient and modern healing practices based on Healing Tastes, Herbal Therapies and Dietary Protocols. The knowledge contained in this book is invaluable for supporting oneself and others on the journey to wholeness. The educational foundation of the book prepares us to really understand the meaning and use of tongue diagnosis. The ancient art of tongue diagnosis, as this book defines it, is the science of the shape, shadings and markings of the tongue, which describe the current state of an individual`s health, as well as their inherited constitution. The potential of tongue diagnosis is that it gives a non-invasive way to measure the tissue integrity of the body, especially the Agni of the digestive system or the Fire or strength of the digestive system. This can be assessed by simply observing the color and structure of the tongue, then we have a very simple way to take preventive steps to correct those imbalances, and we have a very simple feedback system, meaning the tongue`s color, size, shape and shading, to let us know how successful our approach has been.

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.
