Practical Atlas of Tung's Acupuncture

Practical Atlas of Tung's Acupuncture

Throughout the history of Chinese medicine there have been several currents of medical practice. Some were well seated in the Confucian scholar tradition associated with the transmission of canonical writings such as the Neijing. Alongside and concurrent to these traditions China also had family lineages that were more or less kept as trade secrets among small groups of people. The Tung lineage of acupuncture was one such tradition that survives and even flourishes today. One special feature of Tung's system is that it uses hundreds of extra points not found in conventional acupuncture. Moreover, these points represent numerous microsystems over the entire body. This new book on Tung's ancient system presents a detailed look at these unique points. However, instead of just simply presenting Tung's points, it gives the reader a method of understanding how and when to use them in the modern clinic. The book also explores the links between Tung's points, conventional acupuncture points and channels, and their connections to the classics of Chinese medicine. It is a must have for both the beginning and advanced acupuncturist!
