Description

This accessible textbook clearly explains the basic foundations and principles of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. With over 70 illustrations, it covers the theories of yin and yang, the five phases, the physiology of the body, the internal organs, the channel system, acupuncture point categories, the point functions and indications, needling techniques and aetiological factors. Authoritative, yet readable, this is a vital addition to the shelves of all students of Chinese medicine.

Reviews
The Fundamentals of Acupuncture guides the reader on a journey from a broad perspective to the innermost workings of the medicine applicable for the seasoned practitioner and the layperson. Nigel illuminates the connections between the organs, channels, and acupuncture points. His book will definitely be added to the handful of A-list reference books to reach for in my Classical Chinese medicine clinic. -- CT Holman, Practitioner, International Teacher, and author of forthcoming book 'Treating Emotional Trauma in Classical Chinese Medicine'
Nigel Ching's The Fundamentals of Acupuncture explains the basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a deep-rooted thoroughness and a contemporary style. It will become the new fundamental textbook! -- Nils von Below, Acupuncturist and Former President of the AGTCM, Germany
This is an excellent introduction to acupuncture that stands in its own right. While it is most obviously of use to acupuncture students, it's also an excellent summing up of the basics for experienced practitioners. I can see some of my more interested patients finding the explanations fascinating too. -- Karen Charlesworth * Acu, Issue 14, Spring 2017 *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
