{"product_id":"warm-diseases-a-clinical-guide","title":"Warm Diseases: A Clinical Guide","description":"The understanding and treatment of infectious and other externally-contracted diseases has been a central concern of Chinese medicine for millennia. Especially during the past few centuries  the concepts and treatment approaches of the warm disease school have percolated throughout Chinese medical thought. Modern practitioners apply them in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of serious illnesses  including many which are common in the West  such as auto-immune disorders. Warm Diseases: A Clinical Guide provides an in-depth  clinically oriented approach to this important subject. The introductory chapters tell the compelling story of how traditional Chinese physicians  primarily from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries  developed the theories and concepts of warm disease in response to the health crises of their time  which included a number of epidemics. The evolution of their approach to etiology  pathogenesis  diagnosis  and treatment  discussed in this volume  demonstrates how traditional medicine has evolved to meet contemporary needs. The second part of the book describes the various types of warm disease from a clinical perspective. Here the author discusses the manifestations  pathogenesis  treatment principles  and formulas for each type. Case histories show how theory is actually applied in the clinic. A variety of approaches is presented  which avoids the tendency to portray traditional Chinese medicine as an unchanging  monolithic entity. Over time  these differences have led to much creative foment and improvement in the efficacy of treatment. The author also addresses aspects of dosage and preparation that are generally omitted from standard textbooks. This part of the book will be particularly welcome to practitioners  who will find it useful in the clinic. Rounding out the volume is an extensive bibliography of original source materials  supplemental case histories and materia medica  and detailed indexes which provide access to every aspect of this subject.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44909602537525,"sku":"ByrdShop_0939616343","price":316.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0939616343.jpg?v=1768127970","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/warm-diseases-a-clinical-guide","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
