In Chinese medical lore, every feature of the body is believed to contain a kind of hologram of the entire organism, just as Western medicine asserts that each cell contains the genetic code of the entire body. For centuries, Chinese medical practitioners believed that health and disease could be accurately diagnosed from an examination of the shape of the hand, the mounds and lines on the palm, and the fingernails. In Chinese Medical Palmistry, the authors have compiled a number of Chinese sourced information drawing from their extensive skills and experience as an American acupuncturist and a professional Chinese translator. Chinese Medical Palmistry is designed for use by professional health care practitioners (acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopaths, and medical doctors) to aid them in their diagnosis of patients. It also has a great deal of value for non-specialist general readers with an interest in alternative medicine, their own constitutions, and curiosity as to their own health as reflected and revealed in their own hands.
