Product Description

Product Description
This book is a unique introductory book which combines for the first time Western science and medicine with traditional Chinese concepts. An introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine is followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and, most important, acupuncture points. The remainder of the books 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
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
This review is from: Basics of Acupuncture (Paperback)
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!
