The Pictorial Atlas Of Acupuncture: An Illustrated Manual Of Acupuncture PointsStock informationGeneral Fields
Special Fields
DescriptionAcupuncture in Latin means, "sticking with the needle". Each of the 409 important acupuncture points is presented with an anatomical graphic, an overview of the meridian and a photo showing the needle placement. The combination of Chinese sources and the authors' therapeutic experiences provides a sensible balance between the most important indications and practical needs. The names, properties and applications of the individual acupuncture points have been revised on this basis. Far-Eastern healing methods and Western observation techniques create a bridge between Asian and Western views of acupuncture. This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners with an overview of the most important acupuncture points, but experienced practitioners can also learn about seldom used acupuncture points and thus extend their knowledge.

Michael Hammes is Assistant at the Neurological Clinic at the Technological University in Munich and lecturer for the German Medical Society of Acupuncture. Dr. Bernard C.
