Autor: Akira Nakano | Publicado: 2014-11-29T07:18:00-08:00


Esta postagem é resultado da compilação de vários textos de livros em inglês, japonês e português, inclusive de sites encontrados na rede mundial de computadores, e que duraram meses como um trabalho acadêmico, obviamente, sem fins lucrativos, com o único intuito de ajudar aqueles que pesquisam sobre o assunto. Um dos sites: http://www.kyusho.it/tavole_e_meridiani.html foi fundamental na ilustração dos meridianos, sem o qual, este trabalho não teria sido feito. Convido todos a visitarem este site de excelente qualidade técnica e sobretudo gráfica. Vai lhes acrescentar ricos conhecimentos sobre tudo que se entende por Medicina Oriental. Obrigado pela visita.
