The principles and practice of diagnostics are key to administering effective treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. The ability to recognise and diagnose symptoms and complaints correctly is fundamental to deciding on appropriate remedies, and this book provides a comprehensive introduction to all the principles that students and practitioners need to know. The authors outline the key methods used in diagnosis, and describe the eight basic categories of ailment and disease: yin and yang, exterior and interior, cold and heat, and deficiency and excess. They provide detailed instructions on how to identify and rebalance the relative strengths of pathogens and Qi in the body, and how to differentiate between syndromes that might look the same, using traditional Chinese medicine methods. The book concludes with useful forms for completion in taking a diagnosis. Combining practical instruction with detailed theory, this authoritative textbook, compiled by the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center (CBIATC), under the editorial direction of leading Chinese clinicians Zhu Bing and Wang Hongcai, is an excellent reference for students and practitioners at all levels.

Book Description
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.

It traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its relationship to externally- contracted disorders and the eight principals. Featured in this revised edition are 59 color plates and accompanying case histories from the author's own practice. Other aspects of tongue diagnosis newly described in this edition include the integration of tongue and pulse diagnosis; the use of the tongue in diagnosing emotional problems; tongue diagnosis and herbal treatment; the tongue in prognosis; and special considerations regarding tongue diagnosis in children.
