Description
One of the most highly-regarded and respected authors and lecturers in the West, Giovanni Maciocia, illuminates and examines the art of
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
poorly understood and incompletely covered in other English language texts. Over one third of the book is dedicated to the Eight Extraordinary
Channels, providing the reader with the most in-depth information available in the English language. Drawing on his broad clinical experience,
the author covers the energetic physiology, pathology and points by body area, providing ease of access for both the student and practitioner
of acupuncture. The Channels of Acupuncture presents comprehensive and clear information on an essential part of traditional Chinese
medicine.
Audience
All acupuncture and Chinese medicine students.
All acupuncture and Chinese medicine practitioners.
