Book excerpt: "Cosmetic Acupuncture introduces an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems which is based on techniques grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In her Preface to the book the author states that "Cosmetic acupuncture is not about beauty but about health". She explains that the condition of the skin is an indicator of the internal health of the body. If our physical and emotional health are in good order and are well balanced this will be evident from the condition of our skin. Conversely if our skin has problems it may be a sign of internal or emotional disorder." "The first part of the book describes the blood, energy and body fluid states of all the internal organs and explains their relevance to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems. A separate chapter then describes in detail the acupuncture points and needling techniques which are used in the treatment of these problems.

Its strong constitutional components are unique, adhere to the principles of Chinese medicine, and are rooted in the three levels of treatment – Jing, Ying and Wei.

This book was released on 2012-10-13 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is one of the leading killers in the world and the incidence is increasing, but most cancer patients and cancer survivors suffer much from the disease and its conventional treatments’ side effects. In the past, clinical data showed that some complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) possessed anticancer abilities, but some clinicians and scientists have queried about the scientific validity of CAM due to the lack of scientific evidence. There is great demand in narrowing the knowledge gap to explore the scientific and evidence-based knowledge of CAM in the anticancer field. With this aim, an unparalleled undertaking of a book series is launched to structurally consolidate this area. Although acupuncture and moxibustion have been practiced for millennia, they have come under scientific investigation only recently. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been used clinically to treat cancer-related symptoms (e.g. cancer pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia), manage treatment-induced side effects (e.g. hot flashes, nausea and vomiting) and enhance immunity (e.g. blood cell count, lymphocyte and natural killer cell activity). This is the first book manages to provide comprehensive and updated scientific evidence of the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion intervention for cancer care. Laboratory and animal studies have uncovered the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer therapy. Promising results of most clinical trials show the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion in cancer management. This book consists of fifteen chapters which address a range of important aspects that will impact on the application of acupuncture and moxibustion. An overview of the safety and side effects of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer care are also covered. In addition, the integration of acupuncture with Western medicine in cancer treatment and recent clinical trials are included as well. Opinion leaders around the world have teamed up to pursue a thorough and up-to-date review of the area, this volume will contribute great to the cancer, clinical and academic community by providing evidence-based information on the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion as an anticancer therapy.
