Beschrijving

This book is a substantial compilation of clinical case-studies and techniques drawn from leading Chinese acupuncturists. It brings together 69 articles, each authored by a professor or senior researcher, and includes nearly 300 individual clinical cases to illustrate how theory is applied in real-world acupuncture and moxibustion practice. Each section typically begins with the author’s background and major achievements, moves on to their academic focus and specialty (covering theory, needling methods, acupoints, adjunct therapies like cupping, moxibustion, qigong or massage), and ends with detailed case-records showcasing the application of these methods. Intended primarily for practitioners and students of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the work offers rich insights into varied therapeutic strategies, advanced manipulations and syndrome-differentiation in acupuncture. Its value lies in bridging theory and practice by showing how experienced clinicians adapt and refine methods in clinical settings
