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 where text and illustrations are presented side by side, allowing readers to easily refer to the corresponding point locations while reading the text. 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," while excluding content like 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 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 acupuncture's effectiveness. For the convenience of readers, an index of body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture points has been added to the appendix for easy reference.
5. Innovative Design: The book features a novel and lively design with innovative characteristics. It is a guide to acupuncture treatment for neurological diseases. The entire book primarily introduces how to use acupuncture to treat common neurological conditions through diagrams of meridians and points on various parts of the human body, combining text and illustrations to provide a vivid, intuitive, and dynamic explanation. This book is not only suitable for clinical reference and study by Chinese medicine psychiatry practitioners but also for general acupuncture enthusiasts.
