What it is

The body-focused companion to Your Face Never Lies: a complete manual of oriental diagnosis using touch, sight and pressure to detect common health disorders — reading the body's physical signs the way the face book reads the face.

Core approach (from OCR + framework)

• Diagnostic methods: visual observation (colour, form, skin), palpation (touch), pressure/pain points — mapping findings to organ systems and five-transformation imbalances.
• Body zones: hands, feet, abdomen, back, posture, nails, eyes — each a diagnostic window.
• Yin/yang excess-deficiency reading: swelling, softness, moisture vs dryness, tone.
• Practical orientation: "gentle art" of self-diagnosis + practitioner technique.

Caveat

Traditional diagnostic system, not clinically validated — the publisher's own disclaimer (in the text) directs readers to qualified professionals. Study value: systematic observation framework; weak evidence base vs modern medicine.
