The following section is a collection ofpatient history case studies, accompanied by dramatically different “Before” and “After”photographs. The appendices are a wealth of material, and include comparative graphs ofsyndromes, tongue signs and the medicinals which are indicated as well as those not indicatedfor such conditions, as well as a reference sheet of formula ingredients.
