The third volume of the Clinical Handbook series examines disorders of the qi, blood, fluids and channels, that is to say the matrix that forms the communication network between the organ systems and their associated tissues. Included within each chapter are concise analyses of various patterns, their etiology, differentiation and diagnosis, suggested treatments including time tested herbal prescriptions, prepared medicines produced by GMP compliant manufacturers, acupuncture protocols and clinical advice from experienced practitioners. This text is an extremely practical guide to common disorders seen in Chinese medicine clinics in the Western world.
