The Heart & Essence of Dan-Xi's Methods of Treatment: A Translation of Zhu Dan-Xi's Zhi Fa Xin Yao

Zhu Dan-xi was the last of the four great masters of internal medicine during the Jin/Yuan dynasties. Although he's remembered today as the founder of the School of Enriching Yin, Zhu studied the theories and methods of the other three great schools before him and especially those of Li Dong-yuan. This book is a record of Zhu's differential diagnosis, eatment, and case histories of a wide variety of internal and external diseases-and is the source for many standard pattern discriminations and treatments found in modern internal medicine texts.
