DISORDERS OF THE MOUTH OF THE LIPS, THE LANGUAGE OF TEETH & GUMS

FOREWORD
Course books and manuals describing Chinese medicine clinics in
The vast majority of the diagnosis and treatment of my own greatladies. They are listed in two ways, either by traditional categories
tional Chinese (pain of the hypochondrium, Shan Qi, strangury ...), or
diagnosed by modern western medicine (cholecystitis, appendicitis
chronic facial paralysis, endometriosis ...).
But the Western practitioner of Chinese medicine is often consulted by
patients who complain of atypical symptoms or unusual or
not retain a lot of attention by doctors dry nose,
heaviness of head, strong odor in the armpits, taste loss, itchy
eyes, feeling cold in the loins, shaking hands, blanciated premature hair, sweating hands, feeling
lump in the throat ...
However, these complaints are not considered diseases full
nor by modern western medicine, Chinese medicine or by conporary, they do not appear as chapters in our books
study. Thus, often through lack of knowledge, their diagnosis and
Treatment is frequently a problem. Failing involving uscommunicate more forward in the Chinese medical literature, we might even
be tempted to say that Chinese medicine does not fully adeadequate reaction to these situations.
Faced with this difficulty and aware of the shortcomings of our literature, I
focused particular attention on the discovery and compilation of intraining on this type of unusual symptoms and illnesses during my
studies in China, the avowed purpose was to expand our understanding in order to imimproves our clinical effectiveness.
This led me to write this series of practical manuals
clinical use. Classified according to the part of the body where symptoms
appear, they will cover, in addition to the major diseases of large specialization of Chinese medicine, many of these minor complaints if
frequent in daily practice.
This approach offers two important advantages. It is first

Your time may be insufficient to establish a clear diagnosis. These
symptoms and diseases not listed, or on which there is little
publications in Western languages, are so valuable assistance
illuminating the problem from a different angle.
Suppose a patient with sinusitis or rhinitis does not ClaIrately usual differential diagnosis of Bi Yuan (sinusitis). Prepossible concomitant presence in this patient dry nose (Bi

new perspective. These complaints apparently "minor" may be

This series of books will also allow a deeper exhensively of many key symptoms of Chinese medicine as,

The literature thus put the emphasis on Yin with
Empty Heat to explain the night sweats. But what about an Empty

Shao Yang syndrome, a heat-humidity and other possible causesBLES night sweats? The sensation of heat in the five hearts

questions, I am allowed to modify certain combinations of points
to bring them closer to the methodology of choice points

Chinese medicine is a specialty in its own right, and thus requires
specific terminology like any other profession. So I tried

even closer to the Chinese, for, hopefully, a better undersion of Chinese medicine.
