This accessible textbook clearly explains the basic foundations and principles of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. With over 70 illustrations, it covers the theories of yin and yang, the five phases, the physiology of the body, the internal organs, the channel system, acupuncture point categories, the point functions and indications, needling techniques and aetiological factors. Authoritative, yet readable, this is a vital addition to the shelves of all students of Chinese medicine.
Acknowledgements. Introduction. Glossary. Section 1. Basic Principles. Section 2. The vital substances. Section 3. The internal organs. Section 4. The channels. Section 5. Acupuncture Points. Section 6. Causes of Disorder. References. Bibliography. Index.
This is an excellent introduction to acupuncture that stands in its own right. While it is most obviously of use to acupuncture students, it's also an excellent summing up of the basics for experienced practitioners. I can see some of my more interested patients finding the explanations fascinating too.
