Fukushin And Kampo PDF Download

"Any serious scholar and clinician of Chinese medicine, particularly with an interest in classic formulas or classical methods (Jing Fang) should read and reread Inaba Katsu Bunrei's Fukusho-Kiran (Extraordinary Views of Abdominal Patterns). While abdominal diagnosis is discussed in seminal texts such as the Shang Han Za Bing Lun and the Nanjing, the Fukusho-Kiran expands on this theory and discusses the abdominal signs, symptoms and treatments in greater detail and clarity. While abdominal diagnosis declined in China over many hundreds of years, it is now seeing a resurgence. The great Kampo physicians of Japan have held on to this valuable skill and art and this text is an exemplar of this level of expertise and precision. The Fukusho-Kiran is considered to be the most authoritatice text on Shang Han Lun style abdominal diagnosis. The Fukusho-Kiran can be used as a guide for clinicians to differentiate the locations and qualities of diseases, confirm the principles of treatment, guide the usage of medicines, and predict the prognosis, therefore this is a "must" to have in one's clinic and a clinician who uses abdominal palpation will use it repeatedly. We are very fortunate these days to have publishers like the Chinese Medicine Database that are working tirelessly to translate these seminal texts into English and increase the treasure trove available in English to benefit practitioners and in turn mankind. Another welcome addition to this collection is right here in your hands. May it be of benefit to all those that thoroughly study its pages and utilize the techniques which it lays out" -- Back cover.
