Product Description
Product Description
This book differs from other texts on acupuncture points in that it is not concerned with the basic theories of TCM. Rather, it is a formulary and clinical reference developed from the clinical tradition of Ching Tan An, Tsang Tien Chi, and Tin Yau So. Dr So related the practicality of point use and emphasises the selection of points for the treatment of particular symptoms and conditions. For each point he lists: clinical effects, disease, symptoms and energetic conditions. The book has a superb index to aid access to information.

A book for all acupuncturists, Jan 20 2000
By Henry McCann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Book of Acupuncture Points (Hardcover)
Dr. Tin Yau So is often called the "Father of American Acupuncture." He was the founder of the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest school of Chinese medicine in the U.S., and was one of my grand-teachers.This book is a very detailed description of the location of acupuncture points. It details not only how to find each point but also how to needle the points and what reaction to expect (a feature unique to this text). Dr. So also gives lengthy effects for each point.
As Dr. So was trained in China prior to the communists' invention of "TCM" style acupuncture, many of his point location are not standard compared with current Chinese texts. Thus, his locations and uses of points are often provocative, questioning the material that many TCM practitioners learned and use. That said, this book is good for both beginner and advanced practitioners as it contains information no longer "politically correct" by communist Chinese standards.
A must have for all professional practitioners of Chinese medicine!
