Face Reading in Chinese Medicine

By Lillian Bridges

Book Overview

For many centuries, face reading has provided an insightful aspect of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on an understanding of the shapes, markings and features of a face, a therapist can learn more about the health and life of a patient, relating to the principles of Chinese medicine. In addition to understanding how the body's internal functions - physical, psychological and emotional - can be seen on a face, readers will also learn to evaluate non-verbal expressions and assess personality from the features and markings.

Technical and detailed information is presented in an upbeat, insightful and highly readable manner. This is the first book to focus on the deeper aspects of the face reading and diagnosis, and as such to make therapists and patients more conscious of their actions, reactions and the consequences of their behaviour relating to health. Clear discussions demonstrate how this technique can be used as a supplement to other diagnostic tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Engaging, insightful, highly readable text is written by a well-known and experienced lecturer in the field.
Extensive illustrations give you a clear understanding of theories and techniques.
A focus on the deeper aspects of face reading and diagnosis helps readers become more conscious of their actions, reactions, and the health consequences of behavior.
