Acupuncture, Meridian Theory and Acupuncture Points, December 28, 2008
By Athanasios Koulis
|
|
Summary: The meridian theory is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is the study of the physiological function and pathological change on the meridians, and their related zangfu organs. The essential functions of the meridian system are to "transport qi and blood," "to maintain conductivity" and "to resist invasion of exogenous pathogenic factors." The meridian system distributes to all parts of the body. the endless circulation of qi and blood in the meridians is responsible for the maintenance of life and the variety of functions which support it. Over the last two thousand years, the meridian theory has been the guiding principle for the clinical practice in the realms of TCM, particularly in those of acupuncture, massage, and qigong. By combining the meridian theory with the theory of the zangfu organs and the etiology of TCM, one can thoroughly explain both the physiological activities and pathological change which take place in the body. In this manner, a theoretical basis for the principle of treatment in accordance with the differentiation of symptoms and signs was established. Physicians throughout Chinese history have all paid great attention to the study of meridians, which has now become an independent branch of learning in acupuncture and moxibustion

Exhaustive:Excellent!, May 19, 2008
By Elena C. Caprari

I bought this book as a reference work,at the beginning,but after going through it,I realized that it deserved being read more in detail. I could find a few pages on usually neglected issues, such as the historical meanings of some acupuncture points. I am carrying out a research study on the definitions of the acupuncture points in Ling Shu and Su Wen (in Chinese) and I hardly had ever found anything on this topic in a non-Chinese language book. Only one regret: no full analytical index,alas!

Acupuncture, Meridian Theory, and Acupuncture Points, May 28, 2000
By John L. Herr
|
|
This is the definitive book on the subject of acupuncture and will also be of use for those who practice acupressure and pressure points in martial arts. The book is invalueable- it provides the means of finding points in a simple and understandable way without alot of professional jargon. Another suggested book for martial artists would be The Layman's Guide to Acupuncture by Yoshio Manaka, MD and Ian A. Urquhart, PhD by Weatherhill publishers, NY
