This introduction to acupuncture demonstrates that it is possible to combine Western medicine with traditional Chinese concepts. It provides an easily understandable description of the Chinese system of meridians, functional organs, and especially the key acupuncture points, complemented by an introduction to the philosophy and tradition of Chinese medicine. The three acupuncture posters summarize the most important points of a region in a clear format and are presented topographically. This illustrative representation of the meridians and points is an essential tool for any acupuncturist. The point selector is a handy collection of many acupuncture points from various categories in tabular form, allowing the user to quickly identify the key points of a meridian at a glance.
