An exciting new, full-colour edition of Face Reading in
Chinese Medicine featuring over 200 colour photographs and
practical instructions on how to conduct a face reading! Face reading has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine
for many centuries, and Professor Lillian Bridges is a
popular academic and international lecturer on the subject
who gained her fascinating knowledge through her family line
of Master Face Readers in China. Based on an understanding of the shapes, markings and
features of a face, practitioners can learn about the health
and life of a patient relating to the principles of Chinese
medicine. In addition to understanding how the body's
internal functions - physical, psychological and emotional -
can be seen on a face, practitioners can also learn how to
evaluate Shen to understand non-verbal expressions.
Technical and detailed information is presented in an
upbeat, insightful and highly readable manner. This was the
first book to focus on the deeper aspects of face reading
and diagnosis, this edition includes ancient Taoist
knowledge regarding the Original Face and Facial Jing and Qi
markers which have previously only been taught through the
oral tradition.
Clear discussions demonstrate how this technique can be used
as a supplement to other diagnostic tools in Traditional
Chinese Medicine.
Engaging, insightful, highly readable text is written by a
well-known and experienced lecturer in the field.
Extensive illustrations give you a clear understanding of
theories and techniques.
A focus on the deeper aspects of face reading and diagnosis
helps readers become more conscious of their actions,
reactions, and the health consequences of behavior.
