Description
This exciting new book, Pulse Diagnosis: A Clinical Guide describes a reliable method of pulse assessment. The authors' style and approach to pulse diagnosis provides a unique insight into this often ambiguous system of diagnosis drawing upon the traditions of Chinese medicine, the knowledge of biomedical constructs and the relationship of each to contemporary TCM clinical practice. Subjects covered include exploration of the concept of ‘pulse' and establishment of it within the context of health, current limitations of current pulse literature in relation to clinical practice, pulse diagnosis within contemporary TCM clinical practice and pulse taking procedures.
Reviews
"Pulse Diagnosis: A Clinical Guide is a really useful addition to the literature in the realm of naming and understanding the basic parameters of pulse diagnosis. It is written by two practictioners of Chinese medicine in Sydney who clearly have much experience of teaching pulses, and starts right from the beginning with simple directions for correct placement of fingers. Each aspect of taking the pulse is illustrated with excellent diagrams and tables, and should be easily understood by the beginner. Although much of this information is not new, it is extremely detailed, and collated in a readable way that students should find approachable and clinically useful." Jourrnal of Chinese Medicine, Number 87, June 2008
