Reviews for The Principles and Practical Application of Acupuncture Point Combinations

"In this fascinating book, David Hartmann offers - with a good sense of Aussie humour - countless practical acupoint solutions to treat a wide range of emotional, mental and physical disorders, based on ancient, modern and innovative visions. A must-have for any student or practitioner that loves to think outside the box! -- Janneke Vermeulen, L.Ac., B.Physio, author of Diving Medical Acupuncture The sum of the whole is greater than its parts. And this is especially true with acupuncture, the point combination as a whole is greater than the individual function of each point. I express my gratitude to David for researching, organizing and publishing such a comprehensive text on The Principles and Practical Application of Acupuncture Point Combinations. The public will benefit from practitioners who own and study this text so they can better master the art of constructing therapeutic point combinations. -- Dr. Lorne Brown B.Sc., Dr.TCM, CPA,FABORM, Founder of HealthySeminars.com, Clinical Director of Acubalance Wellness Center (Vancouver), Chair of The Integrative Fertility Symposium David Hartmann managed to capture the essence of classical point applications, their mechanisms and clinically useful combinations in order to create effective treatment protocols. Using his charming Aussie humour, David presents this comprehensive material in an engaging way, using case studies to anchor the transition from theory to clinical practice. ""The Principles and Practical Application of Acupuncture Point Combinations"" is going to have a special place in every student and practitioner's bookshelf. -- Sandro Graca, Lic. TCM, FABORM"
