Description
This introduction to acupuncture seeks to combine Western science and medicine with traditional Chinese concepts. The philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine is presented, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and acupuncture points. The remainder of the work is devoted to treatment, based on Western modes of diagnosis. The methods and applications of needling and moxibustion are described, and the most important points are given for frequently-encountered diseases.
