Another Giovanni book. He’s like the Chinese Medicine Mafia – he’s italian, he’s the world over, and he’s never incorrect. Yeah, aptly.
I didn’t read the whole thing, but I did look through the case studies and look at their tongues. Particularly of note is his “rootless” tongue coat, also known as “patchy,” which he says indicates Stomach yin xu. I hadn’t seen this from any other author, so it was news to me… and key info to have in your brain for the test.
Not terrible for OM students in general… no other book out there like it.
