Product Description

Product Description

Basics of Acupuncture shows that it is possible to integrate Western medicine and traditional Chinese concepts. It starts with an updated review of the scientific bases of acupuncture and related research. A short introduction on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is followed by a detailed account of diagnosis. Main topic is the description of the Chinese systems of channels, functional organs and the most important acupuncture points.The remainder of the book is devoted to treatment, based on western modes of diagnosis. The methods and applications of needling and moxibustion are described, and the most important points are given for frequently encountered diseases.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good basic book, 15 Dec 1999
By Mike (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basics of Acupuncture (Paperback)
I am a fairly new medical acupuncturist with no background in traditional chinese medicine. I would recommend this book as a good starting point for others in a similar situation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic guide, 6 Nov 2008
A good introduction for those new to acupuncture, gives most of main points together with suggested 'recipes' for certain pathologies and an insight into TCM. Could have done with some nice colour pictures, but you can't have everything in a book this size - get Seirin for that!
