Good basic guide- By: Bonobobananas, 06 Nov 2008 A good introduction for those new to acupuncture, gives most of main points together with suggested 'recipes' for certain pathologies & an insight into TCM. Could have done with some nice colour pictures, but you can't have everythingin a book this size - get Seirin for that!A good basic book- By: Mike, 15 Dec 1999 I am a fairly new medical acupuncturist with no backgroundin traditional chinese medicine. I would recommend this book as a good starting point for othersin a similar situation.
