Preface
In the 21st century, people are starting to understand health and medical
care in a new way. The conventional pattern of medical treatment alone
cannot meet the demand of social development. It has become a trend to
turn to natural therapies. Other than selecting Chinese medicine as a treat-
ment option, more and more people hope to understand the principles and
practice of Chinese medicine. That is exactly why we have compiled this
book. It is our hope that the book will help readers get to know diagnosis
in Chinese medicine and thus benefit their health.
