Book description
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. "[Five
