Format:Paperback
Summary; informative, clearly set out, excellent self help diagnosis techniques, inspires me to want more.
I found this book more than helpful as a beginner's guide to acupuncture; Ms Hicks explains the principles of Chinese Traditional Medicine, the Five
Elements Theory and the principles of meridians and acupuncture clearly, in simple but non-patronising language.
The self help quizzes to work out one's (possible/probable) imbalances and diagnosis(es) are simple to use and understand too. Very helpful.
The intermittent mentions of Chinese doctors are very interesting and shows that Angela Hicks knows her stuff at a core level.
I would have liked pictures of the meridians with acupuncture points, but I guess you can't have everything, or Ms Hicks would be out of a job!!
A very good read for anyone interested in acupuncture or any kind of energy work..

Format:Paperback
I find the main title a bit misleading. You really need to read the subtitle - 'How acupuncture works and how it can help you'. It is directed mainly to those who are considering acupuncture treatment, since it covers areas from whether inserting needles hurt to what type of questions are asked during assesment.
Good introduction to the basics of chinese medicine (the largest parts is about Five Elements type personalities, Organs and their functions) all written cleraly and in easy way, but unfortunately not enough if you want to delve into the subject more. Contains no meridian charts, nor acupuncture points, there could be definately more on diagnosis.

This is a great book for acupuncture practitioners, students and the lay person. It gives a clear overview of acupuncture and what to expect from treatment, including how a diagnosis is reached, the theory of Chinese medicine, common conditions treated by acupuncture, and even how to find the right practitioner for you. A very useful, easy to read book that should be a mainstay of anyone interested in acupuncture.
