Product Description
A flexi textbook that contains information on all the major body and ear acupuncture points, as well as an extensive coverage of trigger points. The text is augmented by 126 illustrations pertaining to body acupuncture, 48 illustrations on ear acupuncture, and 114 illustrations on trigger points. The description of each point includes:
- exact location
- depth of needling
- indication
- function in TCM
The different schools of ear acupuncture(e.g., Chinese vs. Nogier), often a source of confusion for many practitioners, are presented side-by-side.
While the terminology of the points follows Chinese standards for acupuncture, the body parts are named following up-to-date anatomical nomenclature, and the description of trigger points also mentions the respective muscle and pain projection zones.
Illustrations include color photographs and clear full-color drawings.

Format:Paperback
This is a superb book for those who are studying acupuncture. It is especially useful in the inclusion of trigger points as well. My copy is falling to bits -it has benn used do much - as now resides on a shelve in my office for ready reference.

Format:Paperback
Handy size book, but misses a lot of points out on the 12 main channels. As it says "the main points" but certainly for my study course we have to know the Antiq Shu points! Localisation and point function could be more detailed and no mention of Antiq Shu points or 5 phase function of points. I have been writing in the missing points but have decided to opt for another pocket reference to use for study when I'm communting. For point reference Peter Deadmans book is the definative reference book, but I'm not going to carry that around!
