About this book

Basics of Acupuncture, concise yet easy to read, is a unique introductory book, now in its 3rd edition. For the first time, Western science and medicine are combined with traditional Chinese concepts. This book includes an introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs, and the most important acupuncture points. In the medical chapter a more direct approach regarding the use of life force on the chakra levels has been adopted, and the description of the various disorders and their treatment expanded. This book was written by physicians for physicians and medical students and is characterized by a high degree of practical relevance: a must for everyone practising acupuncture!
