Advanced Diagnosis of Syndromes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481941051)

In traditional Chinese medicine, a doctor will treat syndromes, not diseases or symptoms or clinical signs, and for that reason, the objective of diagnosis is to establish the syndrome involved in each clinical case and treat it accordingly. A Chinese doctor relies very heavily on the clinical signs to identify the syndrome involved. The method of diagnosis introduced in this book may be compared to voting during an election. The syndrome that shows the highest number of votes is to be selected as the syndrome to be treated in a particular clinical case.
