 Exactly what I was looking for September 18, 2008
Kat Thompson (Seattle, WA United States)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought a number of acupuncture books to learn a little bit more about the treatments I am getting. I really wanted to know the general history of the subject and how it works and why. This was definitely the best book out of the six I looked at! There were some other good ones, but they were too involved and much more suited to someone studying the practice. Some were just too elementary or dummed down. This presented a very intelligent and interesting historical review and then taught you the basics of the body's systems, meridians, points, and gave examples of how certain diseases, ailments, injuries are treated. Not all encompassing, but just the exact amount of information that I wanted and needed. I would recommend it to anyone considering acupuncture or anyone who just wants to have a better understanding of it. It's a pretty quick read that I did in a matter of a few nights.
Perfect Book on the basics of Acupuncture April 28, 2010
L. Lino (New York, USA)
This book is excellent for describing Acupuncure, the history and the benefits in a clear and concise manner. There are case studies, comparisons between Western and Eastern medicine and detailed explanations. I loved this book and read it in two nights.

What I like about this book, is that it lists hypothetical scenarios of patients coming in with specific health problems, guides you through the diagnosis of the patient based on TCM, and outlines the treatment points.
Definitely a useful addition to a TCM student's library.
This is phenomenal book! December 8, 2007

Great book,great info and I will definitely be going to an acupuncturist after reading this.I have since making this reveiw been to one twice. OMG it was incredible. No sinus pressure or headaches for EIGHT MONTHS before I had to go back. It sure beats poppin allergy pills etc. and less expensive and more healthy in the long run. Downside is it is a little expensive but less than what all med and docs and missed work add up to!! My first visit was 100 bucks and 75.00 each visit thereafter, not bad consider how freakin awesome it made me feel and how long it lasted.
 acupuncture anyone? April 3, 2009

Saw this book sitting on my chiropractor's desk..in my opinion..get acupuncture from a licensed acupuncturist.. LAc's have 4-6 years of education whereas most chiropractors have less than 1 year. This book is great for a beginner, really covers the basics. By the way, acupuncture is amazing!
