5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for, Sep 18 2008

By Kat Thompson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Acupuncture For Everyone (Paperback)

I bought a number of acupuncture books to learn a little bit more about the treatments I am getting. I really wanted to know the general history of the subject and how it works and why. This was definitely the best book out of the six I looked at! There were some other good ones, but they were too involved and much more suited to someone studying the practice. Some were just too elementary or dummed down. This presented a very intelligent and interesting historical review and then taught you the basics of the body's systems, meridians, points, and gave examples of how certain diseases, ailments, injuries are treated. Not all encompassing, but just the exact amount of information that I wanted and needed. I would recommend it to anyone considering acupuncture or anyone who just wants to have a better understanding of it. It's a pretty quick read that I did in a matter of a few nights.

This review is from: Acupuncture For Everyone (Paperback)

This book is excellent for describing Acupuncure, the history and the benefits in a clear and concise manner. There are case studies, comparisons between Western and Eastern medicine and detailed explanations. I loved this book and read it in two nights.

Would recommend for anyone also interested in the history of acupuncture. Techniques shared and how they were derived are of particular interest.
