| book description |
The book, Acupuncture Techniques—A Practical Manual, is an invaluable resource for both acupuncture practitioners and students, offering a thorough exploration of acupuncture techniques.  Starting with a thorough introduction of acupuncture techniques, the book looks at their historical background and progression.  It starts with classic needling techniques originating from ancient texts such as Huangdi Neijing and Nan Jing, serving as a gateway to understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, acupuncture channels, points, and their application in treating clinical disorders. Needling techniques are essential for effective treatment and the book covers fundamental knowledge about needles, including their practice and selection, appropriate patient positioning, and basic needling principles such as insertion angle, depth, and manipulation; filiform needles, commonly known as Hao Zhen, are the primary tools of acupuncture therapy. The book addresses important aspects such as achieving the arrival of Qi (De Qi), tonifying and reducing techniques, needle retention during treatment, and prevention and management of accidents. Traditional needling techniques, such as reinforcement and reduction techniques, Simple “Burn-Penetrate†needling, and Dao-qi needling, are discussed. The book also explores auricular, scalp, wrist-ankle and cheek acupuncture, all commonly used acupuncture microsystems, and special needling techniques such as Fire, Yuan Li, Plum blossom and Three-edged Needling. In addition to acupuncture, the book covers moxibustion and cupping, and provides an overview of these complementary modalities. ""Acupuncture Techniques—A Practical Manual"" stands out as a unique and extensive resource that bridges the gap between education and practical training, offering a genuine insight into the world of acupuncture.
