Acupuncture Therapy – Marked efficacy and a low instance of adverse effect with simple instruments

Selection of acupoints is one of the decisive factors of the therapy. The experience accumulated by Chinese acupuncturists in ancient and modern times is important to its successful practice. Most of this knowledge is scattered throughout acupuncture classics, modern literature, or is possessed by practicing physicians.

In this book, the author makes efforts to introduce the knowledge of acupoints, and to bring together the vast array of methods of acupuncture therapy in one concise and useful reference tool. It presents current practices in the selection of acupoints, and methods newly developing in clinical research. Primarily, this book is meant to provide easy access to reference material for acupuncture practitioners who possess a certain level of knowledge of acupuncture. But it may also serve as a useful guide for beginners.
