Textbook of Acupuncture

Rating:
Summary: If I could give any more stars, I would!
Review: This book is probably the best book ever written by a skeptic for a skeptic!
Detailed discussion on what is Yin/Yang, five elements,
The first book which provides a rational argument to "why really skin is said to be under the jurisdiction of the Lung meridian?" and the sorts.

The only con of this book are it's diagrams of meridians and the location of points. The diagrams are generated using some computerized software and well.. not too precise. But then for precise meridians and point locations you would rather use Royston Low's Atlas of Acupuncture.

Also discussion on how the meridians navigate not only at the superficial level (which is shown in most books) but also internally.

Complete section on the eight extra-ordinary vessels.
And a section discussing the TCM and orthodox descriptions of common maladies and their treatment with acupuncture.
