Synopsis
Fu-Chun (Changchun U. of Chinese Medicine) has divided this manual of scalp acupuncture techniques into two sections. The first section serves as an introduction to acupuncture theory, providing both a historical context for these treatment techniques as well as a basic tutorial for beginning practitioners. The second section offers a step-by-step instruction on specific acupuncture treatments, highlighting the relationship between patterns and specific maladies. While practicing acupuncture techniques out of a book may be a risky proposition, this volume may provide a refresher course and handy reference for those experienced in this type of therapy.
