Features: This book is divided into three parts: General Introduction, Common Medications and Acupoints, and Treatment. The first part provides a detailed introduction to the development of aqua-acupuncture therapy, its effects, the selection of acupuncture tools, and operational methods. It also covers the indications for aqua-acupuncture, precautions during treatment, and the handling and prevention of unexpected situations. For the convenience of readers, we have also included the location, indications, and anatomical features of the commonly used acupoints from the 14 meridians, as well as selectively introducing clinical commonly used medications. The second part outlines the differential diagnosis and prescription selection principles for aqua-acupuncture therapy. It primarily introduces common and frequently occurring diseases in internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, gynecology, pediatrics, and ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and stomatology. For each condition, there are sections on overview, etiology and pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, differential treatment, nursing, and prevention. In the differential treatment section, we have introduced various aqua-acupuncture therapy acupoint prescriptions to provide readers with more options. To avoid misdiagnosis, we have also included differential diagnosis for certain easily confused conditions for reference. At the end of each condition, brief knowledge on nursing and prevention is provided to help patients recover as soon as possible.
