Diagnosis in TCM is a general judgment about diseases and syndromes as well as state of health of the human body by collecting and analyzing clinical data on the basis of its diagnostic methods. TCM diagnostics is a discipline to study the basic theories, methods and techniques of diagnosis in TCM. With its substantial content, it is regarded as the foundation of every clinical branch of TCM. TCM diagnosis includes diagnostic methods and differentiation of syndromes. Diagnostic methods consist of interrogation, inspection, auscultation and olfaction, pulse-feeling and palpation. All these methods aim mainly at providing objective basis for differentiation of syndromes by collecting symptoms and signs from the patient. Differentiation of syndromes refers to the process in which analysis and inference are made on the basis of clinical materials acquired through various diagnostic methods to determine the type of a disease. Such modes of logical thinking as concept, inference and judgment are adopted in the differentiation of syndromes. The type of a disease is drawn from a large amount of perceptual materials. As a pathological generalization of a disease in its certain stage, syndromes in TCM reflect the law and nature of a disease, serving as a basis for TCM treatment. Therefore, they differ from symptoms.

A fascinating book about diagnosis of various diseases through Chinese palmistry. There are detailed descriptions of symptoms, illustrations, photographs, and charts with each entry.

The hands and the brain are the important organs that make man the wisest of all the creatures. The size, thickness, fingers and color of the hands; the length and straightness of the color and shape of the nails; the patterns of the palmar lines; all these are closely related to the character, psychology, physiology and pathology.

The book presents a number of diagrams accompanying the description of the hand, skin and lines of the palm, the form of five fingers and the division of the area on the palm. Also, a substantial part of the book describes the diagnoses of commonly encountered diseases through observing the palmar lines.

The writer, based on 160,000 cases she treated and 5000 pictures of palmar lines collected, has found the inner relations between the changes of palmar lines and 130 diseases.
