In this text, Brian Grosam explores the hot flash phenomenon from many angles; from Yin deficiency to Yang deficiency, from excess to deficiency, from ancient to modern, and from the perspective of Chinese medicine to western medicine. Through this, he helps practitioners avoid common wrong turns in the diagnosis and treatment of this common and often debilitating symptom, helping us to diagnose the patient before us more accurately.
