Pocket Atlas
of Tongue Diagnosis
With Chinese therapy guidelines for aacupuncture,
herbs, and nutrition
Claus C. Schnorrenberger
Beate Schnorrenberger
Includes a review of the tongue’s most important anatomical and physiological
features.
Hand in hand with the evaluation of pulses, inspection of the tongue is an
integral part of the examination that is necessary to achieve a Chinese medical
diagnosis,
a so-called Syndrome Differentiation (bian zheng).
Concise and to the point, in its first section, this Pocket Atlas explains
and illustrates the basic techniques of tongue diagnosis by showing the manifold
individual characteristics of the tongue's shape and its modifications. In
the
second half, these features are demonstrated by using real case presentations,
enhancing the reader's clinical understanding of tongue diagnosis. The lucid
text is supported by full-color illustrations of diagnostic quality.
Due to its compact and user-friendly form, this Pocket Atlas needs little space.
Nevertheless, it contains a wealth of essential information that will interest
practitioners of Chinese and conventional Western medicine, as well as students
of both.
162 color photographs highlight the truth of an ancient Chinese proverb that
says: Bai wen bu ru yi jian (it is better to see something once than to hear
it a hundred times).
