Description: The SEIRIN pictorial atlas of acupuncture is a new lind of manual. It illustrates the whole range of acupuncture points and main channels,the extraordinary vessels Ren Mai and Du Mai, and the extraordinary points in a systematic and clear way. Each of the 409 important points is clarified through a series of three different illustrations: a graphic indicates location on the body; an overview of channels illustrates the point in the context of its pathway; a photograph shows the acupuncture needle in position. By combining Chinese sources with the authors' experience in therapy this book features a sensible balance between the most important indications and practical needs. The names, properties, and applications of the individual acupuncture points were then revised on this basis. The team of Chinese and German authors creates a bridge between Asian and western views of acupuncture. This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners with an overview of the most important acupunture points, but experienced practitioners can also learn about seldom used acupuncture points and this extend their knowledge"--Dust jacket.
