Zang
Fu Syndromes: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment
serves as both a textbook for students of Traditional Chinese Medicine
and an excellent clinical reference book for practitioners. This 565 -
page book covers one of the most important areas of Chinese diagnosis
and treatment. Included are 87 Zang Fu syndromes arranged by their association
with the five elemental energies: metal, earth, wood, fire, and water.
The book was designed to be `user friendly' by both students and practitioners.
