Firmly rooted in the classical sources of a major diagnostic method in Chinese Medicine, this essential resource responds to the growing need for clear and practical guidance on applying tongue diagnosis in the modern clinical setting. This need is further highlighted in anticipation of the post-antibiotic era, marking increased epidemic risk.
With a focus on accessibility and practicality, this hands-on guide breaks the theory of Chinese Tongue Diagnosis down in clear explanations and offers detailed descriptions of clinical applications. Ioannis Solos draws on decades of clinical expertise and experience, all of which is supplemented with color illustrations, charts, and tables. Each tongue is discussed in relation to how it is connected to the Core Classic theories, whilst also including many translations of essential texts, enhanced with extensive commentary.
Practitioners will also learn how tongue diagnosis has assisted in major historical and modern epidemics, allowing them to feel confident and equipped within their practice.
