Novokuznetsk: Novokuznetsk State Institute, 2003. 55 s. The publication systematizes the external syndromes associated with the penetration of harmful factors from the environment into the body, as well as the syndromes of the defeat of three body heaters. The phases of development of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes (protection phase, CI phase, nutrition phase and blood phase) are described in detail. The undoubted advantage of the reviewed work is the analysis of acupuncture recipes recommended in the special literature (computations of effective points), an explanation of their use in terms of the classical foundations of Chinese medicine .. Thus, the reader is able to consciously individualize the choice of treatment .. In addition to reflexology, reference is made to the classic recommendations for oriental phytotherapy, which for many centuries have been effectively used in external syndromes. The manual compensates for the lack of literature in Russian, which concerns such an important chapter of reflexology as the diagnosis and correction of certain syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine. It can be recommended to reflexologists, teachers and anyone interested in oriental medicine.
