Produktbeschreibung

Acupuncture points are rarely used alone, but rather as a carefully crafted combination of points designed to obtain the most efficacious results possible. There are many traditional approaches to designing such combinations based on various rationales. This book is designed to walk the student through the most common and useful paradigms for constructing such organized and systematic treatment plans. This is a sort of missing link in the development of a practitioner, moving one from basic levels of competency with knowledge of where a point lives and what actions it performs, along with familiarity of traditional categories and understanding of their names, toward the ability to think through and craft your own solutions using points as your tools to solve the problems presented by your clients. This interim level involves mastering various strategies to organize your thoughts around. This book presents those methods of organizing points into the most useful combinations in ever increasing complexity. Thus as one works through the chapters one gains ever increasing appreciation for the art and rationales used from ancient to modern times by practitioners of acupuncture. So this is first and foremost a training manual designed to develop your skills and transform you into an artful practitioner with the flexibility to think through problem solving in myriad of ways. A quick look at the Table of Contents will show the methods covered at a glance. At the end of the text are two sections that can be used to test oneself. The final table shows an ancient method of chrono-puncture which coordinates time and date info with individual points. Have Fun!
