A comprehensive tool for acupuncture practitioners.

Acupuncture is used to treat physical symptoms as well as emotional or mental symptoms. It is believed by many to stimulate the immune system and encourage the body to seek balance. With over 290 illustrations, The Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture Points is a concise guide that provides information about indications, location, needling, and actions for more than 280 acupuncture points.

Inside, you'll find

a clear explanation of organ functions (Zang Fu) and how symptom patterns can guide treatment; tools for accurate point location, including the cun measurement system; insight into how acupuncture points are grouped for specific therapeutic effects; detailed descriptions of the meridians and meridian points, with anatomically accurate illustrations; myotome and dermatome information for every point, which is essential for segmental acupuncture; and a comprehensive appendix that maps nerve supply to muscles and skin, supporting Western-style neuroanatomical practice.

The Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture Points offers licensed acupuncturists and students a quick reference for acupuncture points used in daily practice.
