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 color illustrations to clearly indicate the locations of acupuncture points. We have adopted a layout that pairs illustrations with text, allowing readers to easily refer to the corresponding point locations while reading. We hope this format can achieve a harmonious combination of illustrations and text, complementing and enhancing each other.
2. Concise Text: This book minimizes the amount of text while increasing 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." We have excluded content such as etiology and pathogenesis, case studies, and literature excerpts.
3. Combination of Body Acupuncture and Auricular Acupuncture: Body acupuncture refers to the use of 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 ear. This book combines body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture, complementing each other to improve efficacy.
4. Point Location: Point location is one of the important steps in acupuncture and moxibustion, and accurate positioning is the guarantee of acupuncture efficacy. To facilitate readers, an index of body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture points has been added to the appendix for easy reference.
5. Innovative Design: This book features a novel and lively design with innovative characteristics. It is a book introducing acupuncture and moxibustion for treating neurological diseases. The entire book primarily uses diagrams and illustrations of meridians and points in various parts of the human body to visually and vividly demonstrate how to treat common neurological conditions with acupuncture. This book is not only suitable for clinical reference and study by traditional Chinese medicine psychiatry practitioners but also for general acupuncture enthusiasts.
