Features: The content of "Atlas of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Meridian Points and Their Anatomical Layers" introduces the traditional Chinese medical method of selecting points along meridians and then applying acupuncture and moxibustion for disease prevention, treatment, and health enhancement. However, how do the points on the skin correspond to their positions beneath the skin? How deep are they? What is their course? Few specialized books have been dedicated to explaining this to readers. This book uses illustrations to present the distribution, course, and depth of over 300 human acupuncture points in layers—skin, muscles, blood vessels and nerves, bones, and internal organs—providing readers with vivid and scientific materials for understanding human acupuncture points. The book also includes names of acupuncture points, the main diseases treated by each point, basic knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion, and precautions for acupuncture. It serves as a reference for medical professionals and acupuncture enthusiasts.
