It describes each channel, each acupuncture point, including English name, Chinese name with explanation, location of the point, Daoist, classical and modern energetics, along with use and applications. It presents the Primary Channels from both the Zang Fu perspective as well as the Classical perspective of looking at the Primary channels in progression.
It furthers with an in depth presentation of the Muscle-Sinew Channels, Luo Vessels, Divergent Channels, Eight Extraordinary Vessels as well as the Curious Organs.
There are additional sections that summarize vital information for the clinician as well as sections on command points, Extra points, Ear, Scalp, and Ion pumping. The final sections summarize Zang Fu and Shang Han Lun diagnosis.

When it was originally written in 1995, there were no available books on Acupuncture points in the English language. This book is the product of three decades of private practice, teaching and study with Dr. Jeffrey Yuen.
