Traditional Chinese medicine allows the therapist to significantly broaden their approach to the patient and to disease, since it highlights the "personalisation" of symptoms.

But there is another domain in which it can bring a very valuable complement to Western knowledge and practice: predictive medicine. For centuries, it has developed the study and medical application of a number of fundamental biorhythms, the essential foundations of which are presented in this work.

Starting from the approach of the trigrams and hexagrams of the Yi Jing, the authors — all doctors — describe their method in enough practical detail that its implementation should present no difficulty: tables and summaries make it easy to retrieve the required information, and examples are provided to ensure better understanding.

This book, the fruit of more than twenty years of joint research and reflection on the application of traditional energetic data to preventive medicine, is intended as a practical tool for carrying out a predictive study of the normal or pathological evolution of a subject, and for drawing conclusions as to whether therapeutic prevention might be indicated.
