Clinical Acupuncture and Ancient Chinese Medicine weaves together historical perspectives, ancient wisdom, and modern medicine to provide a holistic, effective, and rewarding way to understand and apply acupuncture in clinical practice. Methodology for memorizing the function of acupuncture meridians and points is supplemented by nearly 600 high-quality images that illustrate point locations and needle insertion techniques. Algorithms for making diagnostic formulations, developing treatment strategies, and implementing effective therapeutic interventions are emphasized. Chapters also cover published outcomes data, the critical role of human psychology and spirituality in healing, and adjunctive therapies to acupuncture such as medicinal herbs and cupping. Authored by Dr. Jingduan Yang and Dr. Daniel A. Monti, two internationally known leaders and teachers of Chinese Medicine and Integrative Health, Clinical Acupuncture and Ancient Chinese Medicine is an ideal resource for a diverse range of health care practitioners and trainees including physicians, chiropractors, and licensed acupuncturists.
