Features: This book has the following characteristics:
1. Illustrations and Text: Most acupuncture and moxibustion textbooks are purely textual descriptions without illustrations, or only include a few simple line drawings. This book is equipped with oil painting-style color illustrations to clearly indicate the locations of acupuncture points. We have arranged the layout in a picture-text format, allowing readers to easily refer to the corresponding point locations while reading the text. We hope this format can achieve a harmonious combination of text and illustrations, complementing and enhancing each other.
2. Concise Text: This book minimizes the amount of text and increases the space for illustrations, highlighting the feature of acupuncture point location diagrams. The text is organized into sections such as "Clinical Manifestations" and "Treatment Methods," while excluding content such as "Etiology and Pathogenesis," "Case Studies," and "Literature Reviews."
3. Combination of Body Acupuncture and Auricular Acupuncture: Body acupuncture refers to the use of acupuncture methods that select meridian points or extraordinary points to treat diseases, distinguishing it from localized acupuncture methods such as hand acupuncture or head acupuncture. Auricular acupuncture refers to the treatment of diseases by stimulating reflex points (acupoints) on the auricle. This book combines body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture, complementing each other to improve therapeutic efficacy.
4. Point Location: Point location is one of the important steps in acupuncture and moxibustion, and accurate positioning is the guarantee of therapeutic efficacy. To facilitate readers, an index of body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture points has been added to the appendix for easy reference.
