By Giovanni Maciocia.

Thorough and clinically-oriented, this text describes the principles of tongue diagnosis in great detail. Each of the major aspects of the tongue (body color, shape and coating) and its relationship to the diagnostic process is described systematically. In addition, the author traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its role in the evolution of traditional Chinese medical theory and practice. This revised and expanded edition of the popular text contains new material from the author's practice, including 15 new case histories (for a total of 52) and 19 new color plates (for a total of 59). The color plates provide vivid illustration and the case histories demonstrate the application of tongue diagnosis in practice.
