Navigating the Channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine

A favorite for first year acupuncture and TCM students because it covers the essential knowledge of the channels and collaterals and the characteristics of the channel system, providing descriptives that include the key points, pathway, associated organs and points, physiology, pathology, clinical applications, and divergent, teninomuscular, and collateral channels.

If you're looking for a nifty little guide to navigating the channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine, look no further than this book by Yitian Ni. It's a great resource for acupuncturists, herbalists, and anyone interested in TCM.

Ni does a fantastic job of explaining the intricacies of the channels and their connections to the body's organs and systems. Plus, his illustrations are top-notch and help bring the information to life.

That being said, one critique I have is that the book could benefit from more in-depth explanations of certain concepts. While Ni does a good job of simplifying complex ideas, some readers may still find themselves wanting more detailed explanations.

Overall, Navigating the Channels of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a solid guide that's well worth a read. So, get your hands on a copy and start exploring the fascinating world of TCM!
