Product Description
Examination of the tongue, like the pulse, is one of the principal diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. This book--newly revised in 1995--systematically describes each of the primary characteristics of the tongue (body color, shape and coating) and their significance in the clinic. It traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its relationship to externally- contracted disorders and the eight principals. Featured in this revised edition are 59 color plates and accompanying case histories from the author's own practice. Other aspects of tongue diagnosis newly described in this edition include the integration of tongue and pulse diagnosis; the use of the tongue in diagnosing emotional problems; tongue diagnosis and herbal treatment; the tongue in prognosis; and special considerations regarding tongue diagnosis in children.

 I find this book essential for practitioneres of TCM.
This is an indepth work and very useful in arriving diagnosis in Chinese Medicine.The great writer Giovanni Maciocia needs to be congratulated for such a work,infact there are very few writers in Chinese Medicine which have such understanding and can pass it to the practitioneres.

Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine ( tourist13 )
I really believe this book is excellent for those TCM students that are of intermediate level(For beginers buy The Web That has No Weaver). Maciocia's book, I find is very common in Accupunture schools along with his book on pulse diagnosis. If the student understands basic TCM concepts and wants to expand his/her knowledge, whether a TCM student or a student in another type of Complementary Alternative Medicine, this is the next step. This book is through, concise, and easily understood.
Be Well and others will be too. Enjoy.
