Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

Happy to have this text, It is one of three and I like all of them and find them useful as I learn the method. One always need more than one reference book to obtain the best information.

I found this book a very nice description of the principles and practices of the tongue diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. It also provides a good example on how to describe in decent English the concepts and terms in Chinese Medicine. I'm not a medical scientist but part of my research is related with Chinese Medicine. I found this book a good reference, especially when I need write about Chinese Medicine in English in the future.

It was a gift to my brother who studies naturopathic medicine. He and a friend who just graduated, loved the book.

Great and informative

This is a great book for TCM students. It has helped clarify for me how to recognize patterns by tongue reading. Maciocia is very easy to understand. He writes in plain English in a way that makes it very easy to grasp concepts. Highly recommend this book if you are learning Tongue Reading and how they relate to TCM patterns.

I know there is a book out there that has a lot more pictures. I debated about getting that one instead of this because comparatively speaking, this has much fewer, but this is definitely the superior choice. The text is very informative which makes the pictures that it does have more meaningful. I am not a TCM practitioner, so keep that in perspective. I am really glad I bought this book over some others. It explains a lot without overwhelming or confusing me.

THE BOOK IS VERY WELL WRITTEN AND INCREDIBLY DETAILED... IT INCLUDES MANY PICTURES TO HELP UNDERSTAND THE MANY DIFFERENT DISEASE RELATED SYMPTOMS OF THE BODY... ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN MY LIBRARY OF PATHELOGICAL STUDIES!

Great book. The weak point are the photos.

Very comprehensive and fascinating. Bought this to assist in my study of accupuncture

Good book but wish more pictures and in colour

Another masterpiece

Fantastic book. Very helpful

This is a comprehensive and very well written book about an essential diagnostic method in traditional Chinese medicine. Thoroughly recommended!
