Reader comments
This book is very practical! Mr. Hua Shou clearly explained the relationship between pulse and qi and blood, and also analyzed the pulse according to gender, personality and other factors. For me, a mother who has just given birth, I can better understand the physical condition of myself and my child. And the content is concise, clear and easy to understand, which is really great!
Practical and easy to understand.
The explanation of pulse diagnosis is very accurate and detailed, and the four reference materials can be used to guide the symptoms. I know clearly in my heart that this is a very rare and good book, and it is worth reading repeatedly.
