Consilium Acupuncturae

by Stephan Palos

This book presents 160 biomedical pathoconditions, denoting for each the main point combination formulary (using alpha-numeric point name designations), the symptom-related points, the Chinese Pinyin name, and the locational terrain for point finding. Each page has precise and elegant two-tone drawings of the anatomical locations of the given points. Therapeutic recommendations for treatment schedule, stimulus, and needle manipulation and retention are specified for each condition. Remarks and source literature citations round off the presentation. Further sections present treatment for various compulsive addictive disorders. The ease of use afforded by the two-color layout, the extensive inclusion of elegantly rendered illustrations, and the concise tabular presentation of the bulk of the material makes this a must for quick clinical reference of academic review.
