Features: This book is divided into three parts: General Theory, Common Medications and Acupoints, and Treatment. The first part provides a detailed introduction to the development of aqua-acupuncture therapy, its effects, the selection and operation of acupuncture tools, indications, precautions during treatment, and handling/prevention of unexpected situations. For the convenience of readers, we have also included the location, indications, and anatomical features of the 14 meridians' acupoints commonly used in clinical practice, as well as selectively introducing commonly used medications. The second part outlines the differential diagnosis and prescription selection principles of aqua-acupuncture therapy. It mainly introduces common and frequently occurring diseases in internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, gynecology, pediatrics, and ophthalmology/otolaryngology. For each condition, there are sections on overview, etiology and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, differential treatment, nursing, and prevention. In the differential treatment section, we have introduced various aqua-acupuncture therapy acupoint prescriptions to provide readers with more options. To avoid misdiagnosis, for some easily confused conditions, we have also included differential diagnosis for reference. To help patients recover quickly, brief knowledge on nursing and prevention is provided at the end of each condition.
