A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"Basics of Acupuncture" is now updated and revised in a second edition. Several new scientific advances have been added, namely studies on drug addiction, antiemetic effects, and the urogenital efficacy of acupuncture. In response to numerous requests, the authors have also added a more detailed account of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). While TCM has no modern mechanistic explanation, it is obvious through empirical observation that it does have an effect and can be assessed in controlled clinical trials. The section on TCM, in addition to the more conventional chapters in the book, is what makes the authors' work unique.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In this text, Western science and medicine are combined with traditional Chinese concepts. It includes an introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and the most important of acupuncture points. In the medical chapter a more direct and practical approach regarding the use of life force on the chakra levels has been adopted and the description of the various disorders and their treatment expanded.
