Main description:

An indispensable tool for all acupuncturists, this encyclopedia provides extensive photographs and illustrations to help students and practitioners find the precise locations of acupuncture points, helping them to understand the overall energy network in three dimensions. Photographs of human bodies, many of which have the bone, muscular, or organ systems superimposed for ease of use, detail the main meridians, secondary circuits, and internal branches, making this highly detailed resource practical and comprehensive. Whether referenced in a classroom or during a consultation, this guide, which has been approved by the College of Chinese Medicine, is the go-to resource for the study and practice of this healing art.
