Description

In this translated text, Ji-ping and Yan-ping (acupuncture and moxibustion, Beijing U. of Chinese Medicine) present the theories, clinical practices and procedures currently followed in Chinese medical schools. The women focus on the core concepts and features of acupuncture theory and the system's points, indications, precautions, and classic and modern (e.g., electro-acupuncture) methods. But they do not cite recent Western research increasingly validating these methods, scientific interpretations of the hypothesized channels involved, or modern references. Chapters include a historical timeline, diagrams, and summary charts. Indexing is by acupuncture point names (in English and Chinese characters), and disease names and symptoms.
