Face Reading in Chinese Medicine

Opis książki

Face reading has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for many centuries, and Proffesor Lillian Bridges is a popular academic and international lecturer on the subject who gained her fascinating knowledge through her family line of Master Face Readers in China.

Based on an understanding of the shapes, markings and features of a face, practitioners can learn about the health and life of 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, practitioners can also learn how to ealuate Shen to umderstand non-verbal expressions.
