Beschrijving

YNSA – Yamamoto Neue Schädelakupunktur is a German-language professional manual on the acupuncture method developed by Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto. The book presents YNSA (Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture), a contemporary acupuncture system that focuses on specific points on the head and scalp that are used diagnostically and therapeutically to address a wide range of clinical conditions. The method has been refined over decades and is recognized within integrative and complementary medicine circles especially in Europe and Japan.

The manual is organized as a comprehensive reference work for practitioners and advanced students of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. It describes the topography of scalp points, their indications, and methods of needling, with extensive diagrams and clinical examples that illustrate how YNSA integrates with broader acupuncture strategies. In addition to point locations, the book covers diagnostic approaches, point selection strategies, and treatment protocols aimed at pain relief, neurological disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, and systemic ailments.

Dr. Yamamoto’s system emphasizes exact point location and clinical logic developed through long practice and ongoing research. The text often reflects both practical clinical experience and evidence-informed reasoning, positioning YNSA as a distinct but complementary approach within the spectrum of modern acupuncture techniques.

This volume is suitable for licensed acupuncturists, oriental medicine practitioners, and clinicians who wish to deepen their understanding of specialized scalp acupuncture techniques beyond foundational textbooks.
