Argumento de Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture E-book (ebook)

This exciting new edition of Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture gives a clear, detailed, and accessible presentation of the main features of constitutional Five Element acupuncture. It covers the context and history of this form of acupuncture, as well as the relevant Chinese medicine theory. After examining the Elements themselves and the functions of the Organs, the book explores the basis of diagnosis in Five Element acupuncture, possible blocks to treatment and the treatment itself. It puts this style of treatment into the context of other styles of acupuncture treatment ? especially Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it is used in the West today.

Quotes from the foreword to the first edition by Peter Eckman, San Francisco:
