3rd Editon
This book describes, in clear and comprehensive detail, the physiology, metabolism and pathologies of fluids in traditional Chinese medicine, drawing on a wide range of original material. Disorders of sweating and urination, the formation of thin mucus, dampness and phlegm, and their interaction with other pathological factors are discussed, and the classical sources quoted. Differentiations and treatments, both classical and modern, including both herbs and acupuncture, are provided in all categories, with case histories where appropriate and helpful. This new third edition by Eastland Press has been redesigned and meticulously reedited and updated, with a new index.
