From the Publisher
This book is often overlooked by students and practitioners who are not interested in geriatrics. However, based on the Chinese medical saying, "New diseases are in the channels; enduring diseases enter the network vessels," blood stasis tends to play a part in all chronic, enduring diseases. Because most Western practitioners primarily see patients suffering from such chronic, enduring diseases, no Western practitioner can afford to be ignorant of the theories, treatment principles, and treatment plans contained in this book.
