Features: This book has the following characteristics:
1. Illustrated with Images 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 integration of text and images, 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 only includes sections on "Clinical Manifestations" and "Treatment Methods"; content such as "Etiology and Pathogenesis," "Case Studies," and "Literature Excerpts" has been excluded.
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 point selection 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 efficacy. To facilitate readers, an index of body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture points has been added to the appendix for easy reference.
5. Novel Binding Design The book features a novel, lively, and innovative binding design.
