Book Reviews of A Manual of Acupuncture

Book Review: A MUST HAVE BOOK!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Manual starts off describing the channels and collaterals, point categories ( luo connecting, xi cleft, eight influential, etc) and does a really nice, concise job of explaining the function of the points. Point selection methods are discussed (local, distal, point combos, cross needling etc.) and then point location and needling (cun measurements, needle angles, depth, surface anatomy, precautions, etc). There is a nice chart of the Meeting Points of the Channels and drawings illustrating the cutaneous regions.

I can't stress how incredible the drawings are...clear, concise, easy to see where the point is in relation to bone, tendons, and/or musculature. The descriptions of the points aren't limited to the usual functions and indications, but delve into the logic behind the uses for points. There are references to classical literature, such as the Spiritual Pivot and Essential Questions, which are used to explain the classical reasoning behind point application.

My favorite of all my dozens of books on acupuncture. If you never buy another book, this one is the last one to get...or the first!
