traditional Chinese acupuncture with this in-depth look at the secondary channels and other key structures encompassing the human body
in Chinese anatomy. This book describes in detail the pathways, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of the Luo, Muscle, and Divergent
secondary channels, as well as other key structures such as the Cou Li and Huang membranes, and gives a thorough, clear overview of subjects

Channels, providing the reader with the most in-depth information available in the English language. Drawing on his broad clinical experience,

of acupuncture. The Channels of Acupuncture presents comprehensive and clear information on an essential part of traditional Chinese
medicine.
