Kampo, a traditional Japanese medical system derived from Classical
Chinese Medicine and comprising unique diagnostic methods, herbal
formulas and therapeutic approaches, is made accessible to
English-speaking practitioners through this definitive translation
of Dr Keisetsu Otsuka's classic work. This clinical handbook
summarizes diagnostic theory and methodology then leads onto a
section including 80 principal formulas followed by a therapeutic
section organised according to allopathic definitions of disease.
It follows a systems approach in internal medicine beginning with
respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, moving through a
comprehensive analysis of all the body systems. Essential clinical
information on how differential diagnosis and formula selection is
achieved is outlined within the Kampo tradition. A comprehensive
index of 120 major herbal formulas and 180 individual herbal
ingredients is included, as is the translators' original Glossary
of terms designed to clarify concepts of health and disease unique
to Kampo and Japanese culture. The translators have taken care to
retain Dr Otsuka's own thoughts and opinions on how to study Kampo,
as well as demonstrative case studies from his own files, making
this a direct source of his wisdom and teachings. Also including an
overview of Kampo in the current age and guidance on integrating it
into modern practice, this is an essential resource for anyone
practicing or studying in this tradition.
