A wealth of information on acupuncture in a single pocket-sized text! A flexi textbook that contains information on all the major body and ear acupuncture points, as well as an extensive coverage of trigger points. The text is augmented by 126 illustrations pertaining to body acupuncture, 48 illustrations on ear acupuncture, and 114 illustrations on trigger points. The description of each point includes: - exact location
- depth of needling
- indication
- function in TCM
The different schools of ear acupuncture (e.g., Chinese vs. Nogier), often a source of confusion for many practitioners, are presented side-by-side. While the terminology of the points follows Chinese standards for acupuncture, the body parts are named following up-to-date anatomical nomenclature, and the description of trigger points also mentions the respective muscle and pain projection zones. Illustrations include color photographs and clear full-color drawings.

Excellent book, but don't buy the Kindle edition if you want to study the book, February 22, 2013
By harold jitschak bueno de mesquita

If yo want an acupuncture book with all the points described then this book is not for you.
If you are looking for a high standard acupuncture book with much good from the Chines side as well as from the Western side [with tips from the late Prof Bischko [Vienna]with many practical tips then the book is highly recommended.
Don't buy the Kindle edition if you want to study the book because the search function and the possibility to search for annotations is still "miserable" with Amazon and Amazon seems not to hurry to change anything in this area.
The Big thing of Amazon kindle books is that they have the very kind policy of letting you download the whole book for a week and you then can decide to buy to keep the book or to return it with a full refund if it does not fit! This is GREAT
All the study books of Amazon are not worth buying as Kindle in my opinion at the moment until Amazon decides to work at the search function. If you just want to read a e-book ,no problem of course!
The e-book can be bought from Thiemens if you want to use it as a proper e-book.[with excellent annotation and search functions]
I bought the both the book itself AND the kindle edition and with pleasure I would return the kindle edition if Amazon would allow this.
Wasted the money on the e-book[kindle].
To end: I highly appreciate the service of Amazon and urge them to change the mentioned point or they may loose their Kindle book position on the market, concerning study books.

Simple and good., December 11, 2012
By Al Dente Kitchen
|
|
This is a book which make easier your understanding of the connection between the acupuncture points and the trigger zones. Descriptions are simple and effective. The drawings are good. Basilar the comment. Plus in this book there is a central section dedicated to the ear acupoints: this only worth the price, essential points of the ears are described and drown enabling you to recognize their location with good approximation. I suggest you to buy it.
