A favorite for first year acupuncture and TCM students because it covers the essential knowledge of the channels and collaterals and the characteristics of the channel system, providing descriptives that include the key points, pathway, associated organs and points, physiology, pathology, clinical applications, and divergent, teninomuscular, and collateral channels.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This is a good, basic explication of channel theory and the channel system, written by an experienced professor who trained and taught at the Nanjing College of TCM and more recently at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California. It delves into the components of the channels and collaterals and the characteristics of the channel system, providing descriptives of the twelve channel and extraordinary channel systems that include the key points, pathway, associated organs and points, physiology, pathology, clinical applications, and divergent, tendinomuscular, and collateral channels. Twenty illustrative case histories with treatments are included to help the student grasp the particulars of theoretical application of the information presented. A brief glossary and bibliography are appended.

Ultimate Set of Class Notes,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Paperback)
I am an avid amateur student of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Because I do only independent study, I find this book a little bit terse for my needs. The material of this book is very complete, and it is presented in the most useful possible form for reference and review. Almost all the information is put into self-explanatory tables that essentially anyone could follow. The organization is so perfect that nothing could possibly be any better. It is like the ultimate set of class notes from a very good course on diagnosis. However, if you don't HAVE a course to go to and if you don't HAVE a teacher to enlarge a little bit on the content, you will probably need a bigger, wordier text (like Tie-Tao Deng's text) to go with this one. Still, the organization is so exceptional that this book has to be of considerable value to any student of TCM. (If you are already a master, you don't need any book, do you?)
