Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

This easy-to-read book answers questions (in a Q&A format) a consumer may have about acupuncture. It also provides an excellent introduction to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and draws interesting analogies between Chinese and Western medicine.

From Booklist

This timely book by an American acupuncturist provides a superior introduction to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in general and the practice of acupuncture in particular. Its question-and-answer format delivers information in discrete, easily digestible portions. Fleischman always speaks to the layperson but does not put the difficult topic of TCM into Western terms. Indeed, at times the text is as instructive about Western medicine as about Oriental medicine, since the patients' experiences in their M.D.'s office are contrasted with what might happen at the acupuncturist's for the same complaint. Introductory chapters cover the basics of TCM and acupuncture, followed by detailed discussions of specific organ energy systems, their dysfunctions, and their treatments. Chinese dietary principles, emergency medicine, and the treatment of children, AIDS, cancer, and neurological and emotional diseases round out the text. A few illustrations of needles, techniques, meridians, and other aspects of TCM and Chinese culture dot the book. It concludes with 11 case studies. This may be the most accessible guide to this medical art. Penny Spokes

This book contains much worthwhile information about acupuncture written in an approachable style. If you are currently undergoing acupuncture treatment or contemplating it, it takes the mystery out of the practice.
