| fundamentals of acupuncture: Basics of Acupuncture Gabriel Stux, Bruce Pomeranz, 2012-12-06 We are very pleased that it has become necessary after such a short time to publish a new edition of this handy guide to acupuncture, which is intended to combine practicality with an affordable price. It, just like the first edition, is based on our larger Acupunclure Textbook and Atlas, but we have taken this opportunity to revise and update the text. For example, several scientific advances have been included in Chapter 2 (e. g. , findings of recent studies on drug addiction, antiemetic effects, and urogenital efficacy). In response to numerous requests we have added a detailed account of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Chapter 8. Although most practitioners in the West have been using scien tific acupuncture (e. g. , stimulating peripheral nerves to release endorphins), a growing number are now trying TCM approaches. The mechanism of action of TCM is unknown: the method is based on empirical phenomenology and pattern recognition rather than cause-and-effect logic. Nevertheless, double-blind, controlled scien tific trials are required to determine whether TCM is more effective than scientific acupuncture. Scientific assessment of TCM in con trolled clinical trials is possible even in the absence of a scientific explanation of its mechanism of action, i. e. , even if we do not know how it works. Many successful Western medical procedures are empirical; for instance, gaseous anesthetics are used widely al though we do not understand how they work. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Fundamentals of Clinical Acupuncture Neemez Kassam, Matthew Gowan, 2011-01-31 First book in a new series from an author to watch Twenty-nine-year-old, independent, and self-assured Cambridge history professor Emma D'Eresby has one obsession in life: the curious journal of a seventeenth-century Englishman, a portion of which was left to her by her late grandfather. When an unexpected opportunity to study the journal in its entirety presents itself, Emma finds herself leaving Cambridge to take up a year-long position at a prestigious university in Maine. Anticipating a quiet year of research, Emma quickly discovers her work impeded by a range of unforeseen complications. From the start, there is the well-intentioned matchmaking of her vivacious Russian colleague, Elena Smalova, and the unexpected jailing of one of her post-graduate students. More troublesome, however, are the unsolved, brutal night attacks on women near the university and Emma's suspicion that they might be linked to the sinister English professor, Kort Staahl. But, most diverting and disconcerting of all, is Emma's growing attraction to the strikingly handsome Dr. Matthew Lynes, whose kind but deliberately distant demeanor puzzles her. Suspense and dread mount when Kort begins to take a persistent and unsettling interest in Emma. What are Kort's intentions, and what is he capable of? And the mystery surrounding Matthew only deepens when Emma discovers a link between him and the journal. What is Matthew trying to hide? An ominous sense of developing tension ... a most fluent writer. --Colin Dexter, creator of Inspector Morse Vivid prose which will hold a reader's attention to a riveting conclusion. --Mel Starr, author of The Unquiet Bones A tense and accomplished debut novel blending romance with thriller. --Fay Sampson, author of The Hunted Hare An impressive debut for a promising new writer. One to watch. --Taylor Holden, author of The Sense of Paper |
| fundamentals of acupuncture: Chinese Acupuncture Georges Soulié de Morant, 1994 Soulie de Morant's masterpiece is the most detailed study of acupuncture available in a Western language. It was nominated for a Nobel prize and provided the foundation for French acupuncture. This text is divided into 5 parts: the energetics of acupuncture, the application of the energetics, physiology, meridians and points, and treatment. This book is a unique historical document, but more than this, it is the most practical of texts and has already served a generation of clinicians well. |

The 363 points covered are listed according to the system currently in use in China. |
| fundamentals of acupuncture: Essentials of Chinese Medicine Zhanwen Liu, 2011-03-08 The Essentials of Chinese Medicine is a text book intended for international students who wish to gain a basic understanding of Chinese Medicine (CM) at the university level. The idea of writing such a text was originated from the Sino-American Consortium for the Advancement of Chinese Medicine (SACACM), which was founded in February 2000. In 1995, the British Hong Kong Administration set up a Preparatory Committee for the Development of Chinese Medicine to look into ways of bringing Chinese medical practice and herbal trade under proper control and r- ulation. After the reuni?cation of Hong Kong with mainland China in 1997, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region continued the efforts to uplift the practice of CM to a fully professional level through legislation. To help bring up a new generation of professional CM practitioners, the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) obtained approval from the Government’s univ- sity funding authority to develop a School of Chinese Medicine to prepare students who will meet the future professional requirements through public examinations. In order to establish itself quickly as a rigorous provider of university level CM education, HKBU sought alliance with eight major CM universities in the Chinese Mainland, and one US university which was interested in developing CM edu- tion within its medical college. As a result, the Consortium known as SACACM was formed, with ten founding institutions from Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Sh- dong, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Heilongjiang, Hong Kong, and the United States. |
| fundamentals of acupuncture: Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction Irina Szmelskyj, Lianne Aquilina, 2014-10-08 The management of infertility using acupuncture is an expanding area of practice and one which is frequently rewarding for TCM acupuncture practitioners. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction has been specially prepared to meet the growing demand for information in this area and draws upon 20 years combined experience of the authors together with the latest evidence from both orthodox medicine and TCM. Richly illustrated and clearly written throughout, the book takes the reader through the anatomy and physiology of reproductive medicine (from both an orthodox and TCM perspective) and explains the underlying basis of orthodox medical fertility tests and investigations. The volume then explores the pathology and aetiology of TCM syndromes and shows how common fertility-related conditions, such as endometriosis and male factor infertility, affect Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) success rates. It explains in great detail how to take a reproductive medical history and successfully diagnose TCM syndromes. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction also provides guidelines on how to regulate the menstrual cycle in preparation for IVF treatment and shows how lifestyle can affect fertility and ART success rates. Placing a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of patient care, Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction contains an abundance of case history templates, algorithmic acupuncture treatment pathways and patient fact sheets and will be ideal for all acupuncture practitioners working in this field. A must have for the bookshelf of any acupuncturist who is ever called upon to treat fertility issues - if you have room for one book this surely must be it. Reviewed by The Acupuncture Fertility Centre March 2015 Practitioners of all levels of experience and TCM students should find it compelling reading and an invaluable companion to their learning.

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Clinical Acupuncture Gabriel Stux, Richard Hammerschlag, 2001 There is a large increase in interest in acupuncture by health care consumers. The three main reasons for this are medical effectiveness, cost effectiveness and the credibility that clinical trials and physiological research have provided. Acupuncture is rapidly moving out of the arena of alternative medicine, in large part again because it is grounded more firmly than other alternative treatments in research. The book provides the reader with the up-to-date information on the clinical bases of acupuncture. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System Michelle Suzy Meramour, 2020-11-03 Meramour's Guide to The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System provides a contemporary approach for integrating classical Chinese medical theory with today's healthcare needs. The Body-Feedback system organizes the fundamentals of acupuncture-including ancient point classifications, the five types of pathogenic heat, meridian palpation techniques, pulse diagnosis, and the natural progression of healing-into a step-by-step system that provides superior treatment results. The Body-Feedback testing techniques, when combined with specific acupuncture point prescriptions and essential oil blends, can identify and correct the root dysfunctions that compromise health. This textbook utilizes colorful illustrations to depict the ancient Chinese yin-yang, five-element, and six-level medical theories and the controlling and engendering cycles. The Body-Feedback trisections group together related organs and body-systems to understand the origins of disease and the natural healing process. The Body-Feedback balancing, sedation, and tonification acupoint prescriptions employ the five-element controlling cycle to identify the root dysfunction and efficiently restore balance to the meridian system while enhancing organ function. Five-element color-coding throughout the entire book simplifies the learning process. The Body-Feedback treatment approach consists of three distinct stages: pre-treatment planning, treatment, and post-treatment. During the pre-treatment planning stage, Body-Feedback testing methods allow the client's body to reveal the root dysfunctions that are compromising health and thus guide the treatment approach. The treatment stage concisely outlines the steps to follow during every treatment based on the client's position (supine or prone) and the meridian system's symmetry or asymmetry. The unique Body-Feedback abdominal, back, scalp, and facial combinations demonstrate how to regulate the nervous system to enhance the acupuncture results. Color-coded anatomical illustrations and charts provide precise needle placement, angle, and depth for the specific five-element root acupoint prescriptions and for the powerful supporting acupoint (extra-vessel, xi-cleft, and luo-connecting) categories. The Body-Feedback treatments can encourage accelerated healing for up to four weeks with a healthy lifestyle. The post-treatment stage focuses on self-care to create that supportive lifestyle and to enhance healing potential between acupuncture sessions. The post-treatment stage utilizes Body-Feedback testing methods to identify essential oils, nutritional supplements, and herbs that best support meridian balance and organ function based on the root of the client's health challenges. The Body-Feedback approach is a systemized method that can be used to diagnose and treat meridian and organ pathology with every client. Detailed case studies demonstrate the treatment stages and steps. Meramour's Guide to The Body-Feedback Acupuncture System, based on over a decade of clinical practice, integrates current trends in healthcare with acupuncture to create a new approach to holistic healing. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Basic Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine Zhu Bing, Wang Hongcai, 2010 Traditional Chinese medicine has a long and complex history, yet the basic principles at the heart of practice have remained the same for hundreds of years. Without a solid understanding of these fundamental theories, effective practice is impossible, and this book provides a complete introduction to everything that students and practitioners, both new and experienced, need to know.

Explaining not only the principles upon which these elements work, but also how they interrelate, the book describes how they can be used in practice to identify, treat and prevent ill-health and disease. This thorough and accessible textbook, compiled by the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center (CBIATC), under the editorial directorship of leading Chinese clinicians Zhu Bing and Wang Hongcai, is essential reading for students of traditional Chinese medicine, and is also a useful basic reference for TCM practitioners. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Medical Pulse Diagnosis® (MPD®) Robert Doane, 2019-05-15 It is clear that the majority of Chinese Medicine practitioners lack confidence in their ability to correctly diagnose and treat patient illness in the clinical setting. For most, this is not due to a lack of intelligence or motivation, but rather an educational approach that insufficiently develops the diagnostic skills necessary to navigate complex patient cases. All practitioners need effective diagnostic skills to navigate the clinical setting and treat complex patient cases. With dedicated practice, Medical Pulse Diagnosis(R) (MPD(R)) will rapidly increase your skill and success in the field of Chinese Medicine. After many years of learning and refinement through the experiences of high-volume patient practice, I am sharing what I believe is the most effective pulse diagnostic system. In this book, I will share the precise details of my unique system for determining the diagnosis of patient conditions. I will teach you how to develop the tactile sensitivity as well as the systematic logic that will guide correct pulse diagnosis and effective patient care. This text applies to all Chinese Medicine practitioners and provides clinical value to any biomedical healthcare practitioner seeking palpable insights into patient conditions. These methods have produced diagnostic accuracy concerning the health of over 30,000 patients and 500,000 patient visits over the last twenty years. My goal is to contribute this same level of diagnostic expertise to your clinical practice and your patients. Bob Doane, L.Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist) shares the precise details of my unique system for determining the diagnosis of patient conditions. Mr. Doane, L.Ac. will teach you how to develop the tactile sensitivity as well as the systematic logic that will guide correct pulse diagnosis and effective patient care. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Acupuncture Marcelo Saad, Roberta De Medeiros, 2019-10-23 Acupuncture may have about 4000 years of history, but it has only been clinically accepted in the West for some 40 years. Acupuncture receives both praise from its users and skepticism from its critics. High-quality scientific studies have advanced, but the technique of acupuncture in health services has stagnated. In this current scenario of contrasts, Acupuncture - Resolving Old Controversies and Pointing New Pathways intends to be a modern reference for scholars, without totally exhausting the subject. The editors expect this work to assist with the advancement of the scientific understanding and clinical usage of acupuncture. The authors are well versed in the subject and, along with literature reviews, are able to add their own impressions. In this book, some traditional fundamentals of ancient Asian medicine are translated into the current scientific knowledge of neurophysiology and mechanisms of action. Specific variations of acupuncture, such as the scalp microsystem technique, are discussed and explained. Practical aspects, such as education on acupuncture, are enriched with descriptions of novel treatments. The therapeutic use of acupuncture and related techniques is explored regarding their incorporation into a comprehensive integrative medicine approach. As editors, we thank the contributing authors for their exquisite work, and we congratulate IntechOpen for its efforts in book production. For you, the readers, we hope to match the trust you put in this work, and we hope you find it useful. |
| fundamentals of acupuncture: Classical Chinese Medicine Liu Lihong, 2019-04-19 The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but transmits concrete and inspiring guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large. |

| fundamentals of acupuncture: Understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine Friedrich G. Wallner, Fritz G. Wallner, Gertrude Kubiena, Martin J. Jandl, 2009 This volume presents texts written by Austrian and Chinese experts in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The issue the authors worked on is the basic problem how to make a different system of medical thinking plausible for the Western world, especially for Western medicine. This issue is considered from different viewpoints - from the viewpoint of Western medicine that is familiar with Chinese medicine and contrariwise from the viewpoint of Chinese Medicine that is familiar with its Western counterpart and from a philosophical viewpoint. In this way both differences in the theoretical systems of Western and Chinese medicine and problems of adequate translation are profundly discussed. |
| fundamentals of acupuncture: Basics of Acupuncture Gabriel Stux, Bruce Pomeranz, 2013-11-11 In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism). |

This book covers the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and discusses the topic in greater depth than any English language textbook available today. An abundance of classical references are also included here. The material in this text comprises course material for a professional course of training in TCM, which is also the basic material for studying and comprehension of other more advanced courses in TCM. The main contents include the physiological basis of essence-qi, yin-yang and the five phases, followed by the theories of essence, qi and blood, fluids, and spirit. Organ manifestation, channel and collateral theory, constitutional theory, etiology and patho-mechanism, and also principles of prevention and treatment are expounded upon. The knowledge in this textbook is approximately equal to that for students of TCM colleges in China, and coincides with the requirements in the Examination Syllabus for TCM Professional Practitioners Worldwide. |
