Basics of Acupuncture

This book is a unique introductory book which combines for the first time Western science and medicine with traditional Chinese concepts. An introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine is followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and, most important, acupuncture points. The remainder of the books is devoted to treatment, based on Western modes of diagnosis. The methods and applications of needling and moxibustion are described, and the most important points are given for frequently encountered diseases.
