The Art of Acupuncture Techniques

Robert Johns calls on acupuncturists to redress the loss of the kinds of subtlety and nuance that increase the definition and clarity of understanding, and that in turn support a more fully integrated treatment approach by attending to the features of classical Chinese acupuncture. He provides a review of principles followed by sections on point selection and technique. His emphasis is on the development of treatment plans based on the classical approach. The book covers ancient methods of point selection, creating acupoint prescriptions, classical needling techniques, moxibustion techniques, and other special methods.
