AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture (Paradigm title) (Paperback)
This book is gold. The beginning pages of the book state the essential in-depth theory of Acupuncture and Moxabustion. It talks about the needles, the acupuncture techniques, etc. -- all incredibly valuable & important information. Each section begins with a picture of the full meridian and then proceeds to discuss EACH AND EVERY POINT on that meridian. For EACH point, this is what you get: - location of the point (using modern anatomical terminology) - classical location (using the cun measurements and/or descriprion on how to locate the point) - Function of the point - indications (what this point can be used for) - Supplementary indications (even more indications on how this point can be used to relieve conditions and disorders) - Illustrative point combinations and applications - Stimulation (how this point is best stimulated, the depth of insertion of the needle, and any applicable moxabustion, such as number of cones and the length of time moxabustion can be applied) As everything is easy to locate and use, this book makes for an excellent reference on ALL the acupuncture points in a very well-organized manner.

I found this book very useful for my studies.,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture (Paradigm title) (Paperback)
As a student of Acupuncture, I am always searching for books to condense and explain . I found the outline of this book very helpful in placing information about the entire meridian including collalerals all together. I also am finding it very helpful to have TCM as well as Western Science indications for the point. I look forward to using this book for years to come.

Good for acupuncture practioners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture (Paradigm title) (Paperback)
A good book bringing lots of pictures and a detailed explanation about each acupuncture point , with its name, indications and techinics. It's a pitty that does not bring some basic concepts about chinese medicine and philosophy, which are useful for begginers. Worth price value.
