Summary: Insights of a senior acupuncturist:One combination of points
Review: I found Miriam Lee's book very interesting. As a student in a traditional chinese medicine institute I have a lot of books on points and acupuncture and many of them can be quite tedious for the beginning student. I found not only her stories interesting but the insights to treatment principles very helpful. I am about to finish my first year in school and some of the information I have already learned made more sense after reading her book. I intend to kept it and refer to it often. Not only was it very informative but an interesting read as well, as a matter of fact the day I came home and found it had arrived I became so interested in it that I stayed up late reading it and forgot to make dinner.

Summary: A Special Book
Review: This is indeed a special book. Miriam Lee shares here insights into how to treat people in a busy acupuncture practice with minimal effort and maximum results, yet at the same time ensuring each patient is given quality time. The author covers treatment of common health problems in the West such as depression, allergies, asthma, diabetes and obesity. This she does using a core set of points which are mainly the 5 Shu (transport) points of the meridians and whose functions she explains with remarkable clarity. The book is a true inspiration for both beginning and experienced acupuncturists. Miriam Lee shows us not only how to heal patients, but also to consider our own intention as healers.

Review: Very limited in the numbers of points used. There is no conceptual or methodical explanation for the points selected. Very interesting that she uses the same treatments for multiple ailments. I have no regrets in reading and purchasing this material. But then again, I read everything on acupuncture that I can get a hold of. It shall remain in my acupuncture library.
