About this title

Synopsis

Sine the time of Hippocrates, medical practitioners have noted the clinical significance of temperature changes found over different parts of the body. In this book, Jean-Pierre Barral brings this form of diagnosis into the 20th Century. As one aspect of the physical examination, manual thermal diagnosis is a method that utilizes sensitivity to temperature changes to identify dysfunction within the body. It is useful across a wide spectrum of health disciplines, and augments other forms of diagnosis. Manual Thermal Diagnosis begins with a review of the scientific understanding of body head, and the clinical significance of changes in surface temperature. The author then proceeds, step by step, to provide the reader with the tools that are needed to transform their hands into sensitive diagnostic instruments. Each area of the body is surveyed, from the cranium, face and neck to the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and posterior visceral projections. The book concludes with a bibliography and index. This book is an indispensible book for practitioners who want to make the most of what their hands can tell them.
