For many centuries, face reading has provided an insightful aspect of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on an understanding of the shapes, markings and features of a face, a therapist can learn more 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, readers will also learn to evaluate non-verbal expressions and assess personality from the features and markings.

Technical and detailed information is presented in an upbeat, insightful and highly readable manner. This is the first book to focus on the deeper aspects of the face reading and diagnosis, and as such to make therapists and patients more conscious of their actions, reactions and the consequences of their behaviour relating to health.

Features:

• A fascinating and unusual subject tackled in a highly readable and detailed way - giving all levels of reader the chance to take something personally useful away from the book
  
• A useful adjunct to the diagnostic tools in traditional Chinese medicine - giving the practitioner an additional "tool" to make an ever more accurate diagnosis of their patient
  
• Written by a lecturer and writer already known in this field - giving a uniquely authoritative and experienced voice to a subject which has been covered only a little in other texts
  
• Highly illustrated - to make sure that the reader is clear in understanding what the text describes.
