Summary |
Headaches and allergies constitute a large part of the workload of acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioners. This is the first book to look at all head and face pathologies from a Classical perspective and to focus on head energetics as the root of all pathologies of the head. Headaches, allergies, eye, ear, nose and throat conditions are all covered and illustrative case studies included which provide guidance on how to clinically manage each problem. Divided into four parts, the book covers the physical and energetic structure of the head, as well as diagnosis and treatment |
