Eastland Press 2020 3rd Edition

This book describes, in clear and comprehensive detail, the physiology, metabolism and pathologies of fluids in traditional Chinese medicine, drawing on a wide range of original material. Disorders of sweating and urination, the formation of thin mucus, dampness and phlegm, and their interaction with other pathological factors are discussed, and the classical sources quoted.
Differentiations and treatments, both classical and modern, including both herbs and acupuncture, are provided in all categories, with case histories where appropriate and helpful. This new third edition by Eastland Press has been redesigned and meticulously reedited and updated, with a new index.

Praise for this book
ā€œEnhances our understanding of the pathogenesis of fluid problems in Chinese medicine. Essential reading.ā€
–Giovanni Maciocia, The Journal of Chinese Medicine

ā€œA work of considerable scholarship and dedication ā€¦ deserves a place as a standard reference work within the field of Chinese medicine.ā€
–Acupuncture in Medicine

ā€œUnlike many textbooks that merely provide a list of symptoms, Clavey takes the time to explain the physiology, etiology and pathophysiology of each pattern, and even more importantly, provides a detailed comparison of patterns that may present with similar clinical symptoms. Twenty-five years after reading the first edition of this book as a student, this remains one of my most referenced and recommended East Asian medical textbooks.”
— Katherine Taromina, Academic Dean, Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine
