"Acupuncture in Latin means "sticking with the needle."
Each of the 409 important acupuncture points is
presented with an anatomical graphic, an overview of
the meridian and a photo showing the needle placement.
The combination of Chinese sources and the authors'
therapeutic experiences provides a sensible balance
between the most important indications and practical
needs. The names, properties, and applications of the
individual acupuncture points have been revised on
this basis. Far-Eastern healing methods and Western
observation techniques create a bridge between Asian
and Western views of acupuncture.
This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners with
an overview of the most important acupuncture points,
but experienced practitioners can also learn about
seldom used acupuncture points and thus extend their
knowledge."
