<b>Basics of Acupuncture</b>, concise yet easy to read, is a unique introductory book, now in its 3rd edition. For the first time, Western science and medicine are combined with traditional Chinese concepts. This book includes an introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs, and the most important acupuncture points. In the medical chapter a more direct approach regarding the use of life force on the chakra levels has been adopted, and the description of the various disorders and their treatment expanded. This book was written by physicians for physicians and medical students and is characterized by a high degree of practical relevance: a must for everyone practising acupuncture!

Reference

Previously only available as part of Stux' Acupuncture - Textbook and Atlas, the selector is now available in a package together with three new posters which depict the most important acupuncture points topographically. Photographs of the human skin were deliberately not used, as they do not allow the structures directly beneath the surface to be portrayed. To ensure a clear and exact representation, the bones have been drawn in the background. The selector presents the various categories of acupuncture points in tabular form, enabling the user to recognize the most important points of a meridian at a glance. An indispensable aid for every acupuncturist.
