The Medical Key to the Doctrine of the Chinese on Pulses (Paperback)

Paperback. The book that you're holding in your hands is a new translation for Boym's "Clavis Medica ad Chinarum doctrinam de pulsibus" (The Medical Key to the Chinese doctrines of the pulse). This translation holds many secrets.Boym's work has been much distorted and sadly only printed in fragments. Yet, even after so many centuries there has never been a complete attempt to put together all the fragments and conclusively attach each piece of the puzzle to a specific Chinese text.

D, Doctor of Medicine, Chinese Medical Author, Sinologist This item is printed on demand.
