Features: This book is a major monograph on acupuncture and moxibustion, reflecting the new achievements in clinical practice, teaching, and research of acupuncture and moxibustion by Academician Shi Xuemin over more than 40 years. It inherits traditional acupuncture theory while also developing contemporary clinical applications, making it a rich, systematic, academic, practical, and scientific monograph on acupuncture and moxibustion. The book is divided into four parts:
Part 1 covers the fundamental theories of acupuncture and moxibustion, discussing Academician Shi's understanding and insights into meridian theory, acupoint theory, and needling and moxibustion theory.
Part 2 focuses on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for common diseases, detailing the principles and mechanisms of acupuncture treatment. In the section on specific conditions, it discusses the clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, treatment principles, prescriptions, techniques, and theoretical foundations of formulas for pain conditions, internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, gynecology, ophthalmic diseases, emergencies, and other conditions.
Part 3 provides entirely new annotations on the "motion diseases" and "origin diseases" in The Spiritual Pivot·Meridians. It argues that motion diseases are often (syndromes of excess) and acute, while origin diseases are typically (syndromes of deficiency) or internal conditions, and this theory has been widely applied and guided in clinical practice.
Part 4 includes clinical cases from hospitals, all of which were personally treated or guided by Academician Shi Xuemin and represent optimal conditions for acupuncture treatment. These cases fully reflect his therapeutic characteristics and help readers deepen their understanding.
Throughout the book, the author offers high-level guidance on how to develop traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, a theme that is fully reflected in each chapter. Academician Shi Xuemin's unique academic thoughts on acupuncture and moxibustion run through the entire book. This book is suitable for reference and reading by clinical practitioners, educators, and researchers.
