Volume I: Lung, Kidney, Liver, and Heart
This volume presents theory and treatment guidelines, remaining true to their historical and traditional origins. It is presented alongside modern day aetiological factors, western medical disease names and other relevant lifestyle details which can influence successful therapeutic outcome.
The body of the text is arranged in the traditional groups of TCM defined 'diseases' associated with one of the internal organ (zang fu) systems, the channels, or physiological substances. Beginning with disorders associated with the 'metal' phase of the Five Phase generative cycle, this volume deals with disorders of the Lungs (metal), Kidney, Liver and Heart.
At the beginning of each chapter a brief account is given of the aetiological factors pertaining to the patterns therein. These accounts serve as quick summaries of the relevant TCM theory and highlight the most common causes. Each pattern is described in terms of its pathophysiology, its clinical features, principles of treatment, prescriptions, modifications to the primary formula(e) and variations.

An valuable clinical reference for the modern TCM clinic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Internal Medicine (Hardcover)
The clinical handbook of internal medicine is a truly useful clinical reference. It contains a wealth of information and clinical tips relevant to the practice of Chinese medicine in the western world. The authors have considered differences in diet and other lifestyle factors between Western and Chinese patients in their analysis of disease presentations and their solutions. The herbal section is comprehensive and has insights into commonly seen clinical variations not considered in other works (to my knowledge). Its compact size makes it easy to carry around and its clear layout makes finding the relevant information easy. Some more information on acupuncture points and protocols would improve it, however, the authors comment that internal medicine is the province of herbal medicine is fair. I can't wait for the second volume (when is it due?).
