Examination of the tongue, like the pulse, is one of the principal diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. This book is a thorough, clinically oriented exposition of tongue diagnosis by one of the most respected teachers and practitioners of Chinese medicine in the West.

Each of the major aspects of the tongue – body color, shape and coating – and its relationship to the diagnostic process is systematically described. The book also traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its role in the evolution of traditional Chinese medical theory and practice.

Featured in this new third edition are 175 color plates selected from the author’s practice which vividly illustrate many of the types of tongues that are commonly found in the Western clinic. Accompanying many of the plates are dozens of case histories which illustrate the application of the principles of tongue diagnosis in actual practice.

Other aspects of tongue diagnosis described in this third edition include the integration of tongue and pulse diagnosis; the use of the tongue in diagnosing emotional problems; tongue diagnosis and herbal therapy; using the tongue for prognosis; and special considerations regarding tongue diagnosis in children. Appendices provide a summary of traditional principles governing identification of disease patterns (six stages, four levels, three burners) and their relationship to tongue characteristics.

A glossary of technical terms, bibliography and detailed index are also included.

“A clear, precise and accurate description of this important pillar of Chinese medical examination.” —From the Foreword by Ted Kaptchuk

I Love my Matcha Set with Frother
Color: Mottled Green
This is exactly as it was promoted. Everything looks the same, the quality is great and the whisk works perfectly. The items seem very durable, all easy to clean. This was a great value for the price especially being that the electric was included with the bamboo whisk.

Good start up set to make simple matcha drinks
Color: Mottled Green
Great starter set! My wife likes using this setup to make her matcha drinks. But please consider you may need an additional thing or two if you want to create fancy matcha drinks.

Beautiful Set
Color: Mottled Green
I absolutely love this matcha set. I bought it because of the color, and honestly it was the perfect choice. The color is elegant, beautiful, and soft. It breaks away from the boring colors I currently have, and little by little I want to replace everything with tones like this. From the moment I see it in the morning, it motivates me to get moving and start my day. Every morning I get excited to prepare myself a super oversized cup. It honestly makes me feel energized, cozy, and ready for the day. I’m really happy with this purchase.
