A Practical Guide to Acu-points by Chris Jarmey,Ilaira Bouratinos Pdf

An understanding of acu-points is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current, comprehensive information for both groups, with special emphasis on how shiatsu and tuina therapists can best utilize point knowledge in their practice. Renowned experts Chris Jarmey and Ilaira Bouratinos use succinct text, a well-organized framework, and detailed color anatomical illustrations to clarify the complexities of acu-points. In keeping with normal practice, the authors give the precise anatomical location of a point and illustrate it with a dot, along with alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate. A Practical Guide to Acu-Points presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners.

A note from the author: I'm an acupuncturist with over 20 years experience. This book started life when I graduated in 1992 and found there was no definitive guide to the spirits of acupuncture points. I researched and wrote the original Spirits and Functions book, first published in 1994. I have really enjoyed updating the book and including things such as the location of each point, which make this volume so useful in the clinic.I know that my knowledge about acupuncture has increased significantly through my further research and editing of the book. I'm reminded of points I'd "forgotten" and have been inspired to use points I'd not needled before. I hope that you too will find this book informative and inspirationalScroll up to the top of the page and use Look Inside feature before you buy!

WHO Standard Acupuncture Point Locations in the Western Pacific Region by Anonim Pdf

Acupuncture has been practiced for more than 2500 years in the Western Pacific region and has become a global therapeutic method in recent decades. However, it was reported that acupuncturists differed by up to 25% in the acupuncture points they used, raising doubts and uncertainty regarding the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment, as well as causing difficulties in the fields of acupuncture research and education. Member States therefore increasingly began to demand standardization in acupuncture point locations. Responding to this request, the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office initiated a project to reach consensus on acupuncture point locations and thus convened 11 serial meetings resulting in these guidelines. This Standard acupuncture point locations in the Western Pacific Region stipulates the methodology for locating acupuncture points on the surface of the human body, as well as the locations of 361 acupuncture points. The Standard is applicable for teaching, research, clinical service, publication, and academic exchanges involving acupuncture.
