The complete acupuncture cd-rom is not for the beginner. The acupuncture demonstration on video was interesting. It showed how to insert the needles and how moxibustion is used. The talk on acupuncture answered basic questions about acupuncture, such as, Is it safe? How does it work? How often do you have to be treated for a symptom? The CD teaches you what needles are used, how to insert them, how to use moxibustion, possible accidents you might need to be aware of and more but it explains each subject only briefly. It sections off all the channels of the body and explains where they are in text format which I feel for a beginner is too hard to understand. It would have helped if they gave you the point combinations for a particular condition and showed a picture with the points being used. Also, the diagrams of the bodies with the points shown on them was a bit blurry. On the plus side, the CD does offer 534 acupuncture studies to research. It also contains a handbook for ear acupuncture on the CD, giving you points for many conditions. All in all, it trys to cover everything you need to know about acupuncture, but covers it only briefly. It is a good reference CD, but I need to buy another book to have a more thorough understanding of all the points.

Worst purchase ever as the product is very outdated to operate on newer pc's. Version is of an unusual format not read by O/S for windows xp or windows 7.
Would certainly not have spent the money if I knew the format was old and outdated. A rip-off and I will not purchase items like this again.
