These traditional concepts are integrated with clinical experience and modern scientific research, making this a convenient and up-to-date reference. Side-by-side text and full-color illustrations combine for ease of lookup and concentrated delivery of vital information. Effects, indications, localization, technique, and depth of insertion present along with precise illustration of points and channels in relation to bone and muscle. A comprehensive discussion of all acupuncture points in all channels ensures that you have full mastery of the field.
