Acupuncture & Moxibustion - A Clinical Desk Reference

Designed for busy practitioners and students, this text is a compendium of the collective knowledge of the last 2,500 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each section contains a concise summary of the author’s vast clinical experience as well as his understanding of key concepts and techniques presented by over 50 important TCM texts like the Huang Di Nei Jing—Ling Shu and Shang Han Lun, to modern publications of the current century. For non-Chinese speaking practitioners, this book breaks new ground, as many of the medical texts referenced have been inaccessible to those not fluent in Chinese. Based on the author’s own experience, training, and research, this reference has been written in order to save time when accessing treatment strategies in a busy acupuncture clinic. The reader will gain unique insight into the clinical practice of acupuncture through case study analysis, discussion, and commentary regarding treatment effectiveness, almost as if they were shadowing a master acupuncturist.
