This book aims to connect and integrate classical acupuncture therapy and contemporary medicine. Based on updated reviews and systematic analyses, the meridians are actually systems of physiological and pathological reflexes in the body, and acupuncture therapy is a type of reflexotherapy. Includes incisive and concrete theory and technique descriptions, a novel systems approach, and many case studies. An advanced, practical, and valuable resource for acupuncture practitioners interested in sharpening clinical skills; and an essential and comprehensive text for health care professionals interested in integrating medical acupuncture into their practice.
