A flexi textbook that contains information on the most important acupoints on the body and Stuttgart ear, as well as the principal 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 localization, needling depth, indications and functions of each point are described as understood in Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The description of each point includes; exact location; depth of needling; indication; function in TCM; While the terminology of the points follows Chinese standards for acupuncture, the body parts are named following up-to-date anatomical nomenclature. Auricular acupuncture points are described both after Nogier and TCM, while the description of trigger points also mentions the respective muscle and pain projection zones. All coverage is easy to follow if familiar with medical terminology. Illustrations include color photographs and clear four-color drawings.

Essential pocket reference for teh student of acupuncture,
By P M L Herbert (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Color Atlas of Acupuncture: Body Points, Ear Points, Trigger Points (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.

Dissapointment - have to buy an additional book,
By
This review is from: Color Atlas of Acupuncture: Body Points - Ear Points - Trigger Points (Complementary Medicine (Thieme Paperback)) (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!
