Acupuncture Diagnostic Methods & Point Selection Maurice L LaVigne

"Great job on your book! It is the equivalent of a full subject course. It is a great study... Bravo!!." Dr Ethne Munden, Chair of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Acupuncture Diagnostic Methods and Point Selection offers a comprehensive introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It explains the possible causes of disease according to TCM, details the signs and symptoms related to different disorders, provides diagnostic guidelines to help collect and analyze the information required to make an accurate assessment of your patients condition, explains the major theories of pattern identification, and offers a number of basic principles to facilitate the building of point formulas. Finally, pulse and tongue diagnosis are explained in a comprehensive but accessible manner. Great as a reference manual for acupuncture clinics.
