Acupuncture Pulse Diagnosis and the Constitutional Conditional Paradigm

More about the book

An Eastern scientific approach to acupuncture based on pulse diagnosis information in terms of qualitative, inductive and synthetic modes of understanding. Western science is based on quantitative, deductive and analytical modes by contrast. They are complementary and offer different ways of guiding therapeutics. The author's 50 years of clinical practice has led to Constitutional Conditional Acupuncture (CCA) which has been remarkably helpful in treating the whole range of conditions from pain to such less well understood problems such as depression and cancer. More than 50 case histories included in this account of CCA, based on the author's synthesis of Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Indian traditional methodologies.
