This timely and useful handbook contains concise summaries of acupuncture and moxibustion therapies. It includes discussions of basic theory, channels, points, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, pattern identification, and treatment techniques-the information necessary for class preparation or quick clinical review. A major portion of the text is in graphic tables to reinforce comprehension and aid memorization. The information is presented in pattern sequences that clearly and succinctly describe the concept or treatment. Similarities or differences that go unrecognized in other presentation styles are quickly accessible with this user-friendly technique. This first volume is often used by students preparing for their exams. The "note card" format makes self-testing easy. 
All terms have been carefully cross-referenced to popular texts. Classical Chinese five-phase acupuncture techniques, previously unavailable in English, are included. Practical and free of theoretical or clinical bias, this book offers a compilation of unsurpassed value as a review and as a ready reference, giving the reader easy access to a vast body of practical and theoretical knowledge.

This second volume of the popular Acumoxa Therapy review series takes the reader from the basic theories, systems and structures of Chinese medicine presented in Volume I, to the application of those theories in treatment. Like the earlier volume, this text is ideal for both classroom instruction and practitioner review. This second volume approaches the treatment of disease from both traditional Chinese patterns and Western categories. This dual approach coincides with the structure of most study courses in acupuncture pathology, and reflects common Chinese clinical practice. 
Part I uses traditional patterns of disharmony to present methods of treatment with their representative acupoints. Part II presents 65 common disorders with guiding symptoms and TCM differentiation. Appropriate points and treatment approaches are always detailed. Included is an excellent presentation of guidelines for developing a clear diagnosis from raw data, emphasizing the all-important transition from basic theory to treatment principle. The concise table format used in the earlier volume is also found here, which facilitates cross-referencing both texts to other important sources.
