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, making point localization more precise. 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 and increases the space for illustrations, highlighting the feature of diagrammatic point localization. The text is organized into sections such as "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 acupuncture methods that select 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 Localization: Point localization is one of the important steps in acupuncture and moxibustion, and accurate localization is the guarantee of acupuncture and moxibustion 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, showcasing innovative characteristics. It is a book introducing acupuncture and moxibustion for treating neurological diseases. The entire book primarily uses diagrams to illustrate the meridians and points of various parts of the human body, combining text and illustrations to provide a visual, vivid, and lively introduction to how acupuncture and moxibustion can be used to treat common neurological conditions. This book is not only suitable for clinical reference and study by traditional Chinese medicine psychiatry doctors but also for general acupuncture enthusiasts to read.
