Using modern knowledge to shed light on ancient techniques, this
text examines two of the earliest therapeutic techniques of Chinese
medicine: acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is the
implantation of very thin needles into subcutaneous connective
tissue and muscle at a great number of different points on the
body's surface; moxibustion is the burning of Artemisia tinder
(moxa) either directly on the skin or just above it. For 2500 years
the Chinese have used both techniques to relieve pain and to heal a
wide variety of illnesses and malfunctions. Providing a full
historical account of acupuncture and moxibustion in the
theoretical structure of Chinese medicine, Doctors Lu and Needham
combine it with a rationale of the two techniques in the light of
modern scientific knowledge.
