Holly A. Halsey said excellent text book. Although this book isn't written for the lay person it is excellent for students of Chinese Medicine and Asian bodywork at the entry level. I am considering using this text as required reading for one of my classes at PCOM. I found this book through a student of mine who got it at barns and noble. ulrikea said great book! very clear information. great book! very clear information, except some point locations are numbered differently (Bladder) as I know the other numbers or some of them it didn't confuse me but it may confuse others. Robert Nadeau said Extremely Useful. This book makes it super easy to look up many popular points and is easy to use for quick reference. Highly recommended for those new to acupuncture.
The book also states if the acupoint is used as a reflex point or a chakra point, so encompasses reflexology and chakra therapy philosophy.. Although the points are all given traditional Chinese names and symbols, the description of their use, their symptomatology and conditions treated are given in easy to understand Western medical terminology. This highly illustrated book describes the most used and popular acupuncture points on the body that may be used with needle, pressure, or moxa. Unique to this book is the star system of grading acupoints according to their versatility. The Concise Book of Acupoints is aimed at acupuncture students and novice practitioners as well as physical therapists and general bodywork therapists who want to utilize the use of these points within their own practices of reflexology, shiatsu, tui na, acupressure and many other bodywork therapies
