Part two deals with channels, collaterals and points including the courses and points of the 12 regular channels and the 8 extra channels. Part three, besides the application of acupuncture, discusses treatment by burning moxa, a woolly substance prepared from the young leaves of a Chinese wormwood (Artemisia moxa), the technique being known as moxibustion.

Download or read book WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations in the Western Pacific Region written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture has been practiced for more than 2500 years in the Western Pacific region and has become a global therapeutic method in recent decades. However, it was reported that acupuncturists differed by up to 25% in the acupuncture points they used, raising doubts and uncertainty regarding the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment, as well as causing difficulties in the fields of acupuncture research and education. Member States therefore increasingly began to demand standardization in acupuncture point locations. Responding to this request, the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office initiated a project to reach consensus on acupuncture point locations and thus convened 11 serial meetings resulting in these guidelines. This Standard acupuncture point locations in the Western Pacific Region stipulates the methodology for locating acupuncture points on the surface of the human body, as well as the locations of 361 acupuncture points. The Standard is applicable for teaching, research, clinical service, publication, and academic exchanges involving acupuncture.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Acu points written by Chris Jarmey and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of acu-points is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current, comprehensive information for both groups, with special emphasis on how shiatsu and tuina therapists can best utilize point knowledge in their practice. Renowned experts Chris Jarmey and Ilaira Bouratinos use succinct text, a well-organized framework, and detailed color anatomical illustrations to clarify the complexities of acu-points. In keeping with normal practice, the authors give the precise anatomical location of a point and illustrate it with a dot, along with alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate. A Practical Guide to Acu-Points presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners.

Download or read book Acupoint Location Guide written by Des Alon Lotan and published by Alon Lotan. This book was released on 2000-02-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a response to the need for clear and accessible descriptions of acupoint locations, a small but critical part of Chinese traditional Acu-medicine knowledge. This revised edition endeavors to provide easy to use directions for the exact locating of acupoints. Short, uniformly formatted textual descriptions are given alongside corresponding anatomical maps. The text and illustrations conform to the guidelines listed below. Efforts have been made to include alternative locations of points which are mentioned in various sources. It does not presume to be a new approach, nor is it limited to one particular perspective. The Acupoint Location Guide was first published in 2000, and was written as the book I envisioned as a student. Since then it has served thousands of students in their studies. I hope you will enjoy it too. Illustration Guidelines: ----------------------- -The illustrations present all important anatomical details required for accurate location of the points. -The different strata of the body: bones, muscles and tendons, skin, and arteries, are clearly delineated. -The illustrations show the correct body posture for locating the points. -All points are shown on the left side of the body, although they are found on both sides. Some illustrations show the point, untitled, also on the right side with additional anatomical aspects of the location. -It is a good idea to use different colors to mark the various body structures in the illustrations, and to underline the corresponding text in the same color. Text Guidelines: ----------------- -The names of the acupoints are given in Pinyin and in the NCCA abbreviations. -The "Location" describes the point's horizontal and vertical position on the body, following the recommended body posture, if such is relevant. -"Tips & References" provide the reader with additional information such as definitions from traditional sources, anatomically related structures and finger-tip search instructions. -Most sources agree on the locations of points. "Alternative Locations" gives a variant location when such exists. Sources for alternative locations are given in the appendix, on p. 179. -The text aims at accessibility to the general reader. All special terms ("cun" units, anatomical directions) are defined and illustrated in the Introduction. Names of anatomical structures are shown in the accompanying illustration. -In order to keep the location definitions short and clear, simple terms have been substituted for the classical terminology. For example, a point located on the upper border of an organ is described as "superior to..." instead of "on the superior border of...." A point located directly above a site is described as "vertically superior to...," or, if a cun measure is given: "X cun superior to...."

Download or read book Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases written by Ying Xia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture therapy has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for more than two thousand years. Modern clinical research has confirmed the impressive therapeutic effect of acupuncture on numerous human ailments, such as controlling pain, nausea, and vomiting. However, the biological mechanisms of acupuncture are still under debate. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the mechanism of acupuncture therapy is explained by a meridian model. According to this model, acupuncture is believed to treat the diseased organs by modulating two conditions known as Yin and Yang, which represent all the opposite principles that people find in the universe, both inside and outside the human body. Yin and Yang complement each other, and are subjected to changes between each other. The balance of Yin and Yang is thought to be maintained by Qi, an energy substance flowing constantly through the meridian, a network connecting all the organs of the body. The illness, according to this theory, is the temporary dominance of one principle over the other, owing to the blockade of the Qi from flowing through the meridian under certain circumstance. The axiom of “No stagnation, No pain” in TCM summarizes this concept. Thus, the goal of acupuncture treatment is to restore the balance of Yin and Yang conditions in the diseased organ(s). This theory has been considered to be useful to guide this ancient therapy, such as carrying out diagnosis, deciding on the principle, and selecting the acupoints.
