Large atlas, luxuriously produced in full-color, is a profusely illustrated
manual of acupuncture points: those on the main channels, as well as the extraordinary vessels and extra points (409 total). Three different types of illustrations are provided for each set of points: a graphic which indicates body location in relation to both bone and muscle; an overview of channels which depicts the point in the context of its pathway; and a photograph showing the needle in position. Text accompanying illustrations includes descriptives of
location, needling technique, actions, indications, and precautions. Also includes special needling methods and point categories. A recommended, worthwhile investment for student and practitioner.
