Description

Provides practitioners with the essential information needed to properly treat skin diseases. The focus of this book is on treatment,especially herbal,but also acupuncture,moxibustion,& empirical remedies. - By Shen & Wu. (1995) 381pp

This book provides practitioners with the essential information needed to properly treat skin diseases. Introductory chapters address the history of dermatology in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as aspects of diagnosis, differentiation of patterns, and treatment that are peculiar to this field. The remaining seventeen chapters contain detailed discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of specific skin disorders, including those most commonly seen in the clinic. Skin diseases are conveniently organized by biomedical categories, which will enable practitioners to refer to available atlases of dermatology to aid in diagnosis.

The focus of this book is on treatment, especially herbal, but also acupuncture, moxibustion and empirical remedies. For each disorder, a comparison is drawn between the utility of traditional Chinese and modern biomedical treatments, which will help practitioners identify the advantages and disadvantages of each.

The book concludes with a special appendix describing the characteristics of over fifty supplemental herbs that are used in treating skin disorders, but which are not among the material medica commonly found in conventional Chinese pharmacopoeia. There are also multiple indices and cross-indices to the formulas, material medica and acupuncture points referenced throughout the book.
