Description
This book presents acupuncture as a distinctive discipline and an aspect of Chinese medicine and philosophy, offering an introduction for those beginning their study. It explores the Taoist inner arts, whose original purpose was not to cure illness but to cultivate the individual, unite the three treasures and liberate the soul. The book examines the Chinese medical view of the causes of disease, the schools of cold and hot diseases, and the seven-year and eight-year life cycles of women and men. It explains the heavenly and bodily souls, the concepts of the three treasures and five elements, and their significance in treatment. Readers learn what an acupuncture point is, encounter the thirteen ghost points, and discover which points may be selected for treatment. The book also includes the author’s original maps of acupuncture points and meridians. It distinguishes these ideas from various popular procedures and methods that have little in common with traditional acupuncture and its philosophy.
