A Handbook of TCM Patterns & Treatments
The purpose of this book is to give the practitioner a detailed worling list of patterns which more closely resembles the cases seen in clinical practice, to complement the use of the primary TCM patterns. Each pattern is well-presented with cause, symptoms, tongue, pulse, treatment principles, suggested herbal formulae and acupuncture point, and comments or key advice. I especially like the key advice sections. It draws on the author's experience and makes some useful suggestions on pattern differentiation. This book could serve as a useful starting point for the new acupuncture/herbal student as a first or second year textbook.
