| | IN CHINESE MEDICINE, every part of the body is believed to contain a hologram of the entire organism, just as each cell contains the genetic code of the entire body. Thus Chinese doctors have for centuries believed that one can diagnose health and disease from the shape of the hand, the mounds and lines on the palm, and the fingernails.
There are many other books on palmistry in English,
but this is the first on Chinese medical palmistry. It has
been compiled from a number of Chinese sources by a
husband/wife team consisting of an American
acupuncturist and a professional Chinese translator.
This book is meant for use by professional health care
practitioners, such as acupuncturists, chiropractors,
naturopaths, and MDs to aid them in the diagnosis
of their patients. It is also meant for lay readers
interested in learning about their own constitution and
the sorts of diseases they are liable to develop. Thus
this book enables one to see their health and also to
take one’s health in their own hands.
