Book excerpt: Using modern knowledge to shed light on ancient techniques, this text examines two of the earliest therapeutic techniques of Chinese medicine: acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is the implantation of very thin needles into subcutaneous connective tissue and muscle at a great number of different points on the body's surface; moxibustion is the burning of Artemisia tinder (moxa) either directly on the skin or just above it. For 2500 years the Chinese have used both techniques to relieve pain and to heal a wide variety of illnesses and malfunctions. Providing a full historical account of acupuncture and moxibustion in the theoretical structure of Chinese medicine, Doctors Lu and Needham combine it with a rationale of the two techniques in the light of modern scientific knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to the clinical application of single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, with a special emphasis on methods and needle techniques. Single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy differs from other forms of acupuncture in that only one point is selected during each session. The single point technique is noted for its quick therapeutic response and exceptional results, despite using far fewer points than traditional acupuncture therapy. It is a simple technique for practitioners to master, and patients are quick to extol the virtues of the single-point approach. Author Dr. Decheng Chen describes in detail how to treat one hundred of the most common clinical ailments, including headaches, neck pain, hypertension, and even the common cold. Dr. Chen uses both Western and traditional Chinese medical theory to describe his treatment methods. Each section consists of an introduction to the disease, a detailed explanation of the needle technique used, a case study of the treatment, and a discussion. With its easy-to-use format and step-by-step instructions, Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is the definitive single point acupuncture guide for teachers, students, and acupuncture practitioners alike.

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.

Download or read book Acupuncture written by Oscar Wu and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture is a difficult art to both practice and master. This practice incorporates thousands of years of knowledge and is thus a little convoluted and filled with strange philosophies. Jabbing hundreds of needles into someone in a generally short time span is no mean feat either. Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Secret eliminates much of the theory underlying acupuncture into its practical core. While doubtless this knowledge is absolutely necessary, it is not the most important aspect of acupuncture and can be quite confusing for beginners who simply desire to know what acupuncture is to comprehends. This introductory text covers the basic aspects of acupuncture quickly, covering the concepts of "cun" and channel theory, before extensively delving into acupoints and their myriad aspects. The book then progresses to include more than a hundred extra acupoints, diverging from the canonical forty points, so to include a broader choice of acupoints available to the practitioner. It then covers the methods of point selection, one of the most vital fundamentals of acupuncture. The methods are well-presented in a formulaic fashion rather than a wide range of choices, something not done in other books. The final few chapters include cupping and moxibustion, important supplementary tactics that can be used in addition to acupuncture to increase their mutual efficacy. Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Text is perhaps one of the few existing introductory texts on acupuncture that is presented in an organized fashion that almost anyone can understand, though it is not a stand-alone text. This book should definitely be supplemented by other books as soon as the reader's knowledge can grasp the basic foundations of acupuncture. Learning acupuncture is not an easy task. May Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Text help readers interested in Eastern medicine help them on the path to understanding and learning this interesting practice that's survived for thousands of years.

Download or read book Basics of Acupuncture written by Gabriel Stux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism).
