Marvelous Way of Needles

Head acupuncture is a therapy applied by needling specific areas of the scalp to treat ailments. It was developed by combining the theories and techniques of traditional acupuncture with modern physiology's insights into the anatomy of the nervous system, and was honed through scientific research and clinical practice in the course of many years. The first comprehensive study of head acupuncture, "Head Acupuncture Therapy," was published on March 18, 1971. Thanks to its unique curative effects in treating cerebral conditions, head acupuncture spread rapidly throughout the world, and in 1986 was awarded the A-class National Award for Major Scientific Research Achievements in Chinese Traditional Medicine by the Chinese government. As early as the 1980s, head acupuncture had become one of China's most commonly used methods in treating cerebral conditions. In order to help people in other countries relieve pain and cure such ailments, the World Health Organization recommended that head acupuncture be promoted throughout the world. I published "Head Acupuncture Therapy" and related essays in 1972. To promote the rapid development of head acupuncture, I summarized my clinical experience and the research findings of 38 years of study, and put all of that knowledge into this book's 11 chapters. I believe it will prove to be of great reference value in clinical practice, study and research alike.
