Book Description
This exciting new edition of Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture gives a clear, detailed, and accessible presentation of the main features of constitutional Five Element acupuncture. It covers the context and history of this form of acupuncture, as well as the relevant Chinese medicine theory. After examining the Elements themselves and the functions of the Organs, the book explores the basis of diagnosis in Five Element acupuncture, possible blocks to treatment and the treatment itself. It puts this style of treatment into the context of other styles of acupuncture treatment — especially Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it is used in the West today. Features - The Five Elements referred to in the title are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. - Gives a clear, detailed and accessible presentation of the main features of Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture treatment. - Covers the context and history of this form of acupuncture, as well as the relevant Chinese medicine theory. - Includes an unambiguous description of the principle aspects of diagnosis within a system, ironing out inconsistencies often present in discussions of these aspects. This edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes a new and improved colour page design. Quotes from the foreword to the first edition by Peter Eckman, San Francisco: "...the authors have shown how their approach can even integrate with TCM findings to treat patients more completely and rapidly. As the case histories illustrate, Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture is a style of practice that is second to none, and this innovative text is an excellent resource for learning it"

Welcome the Pain

ISBN: 9781452575537
Category : Acupuncture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Welcome the Pain: The Life and Work of Master Acupuncturist Zion Yu" tells the story of Zion's early apprenticeship under his father, a renowned nerve and bone doctor. At the ripe age of seven, Zion was charged with caring for his ailing mother, who taught him the skills necessary to master the art of relieving pain. This memoir is a personal and detailed account of Zion's life, and how he acquired the skills that led him to treat some of the most famous people in Hollywood, including George Harrison, Natalie Wood, and Jane Fonda. Included in this story is the history of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States and how acupuncture became legalized. Zion's motto and guiding principle, "Welcome the Pain," enabled him to transcend fear and come to the other side, where true healing occurs-a gift he now wishes to share with others. "Zion Yu is the Miles Davis of acupuncture. Because of his work over the past twenty years, I no longer needed a stint put in my heart. My body completely repaired itself with his needle jazz!" -Stewart Levine, musician and producer "After Zion taught me qi gong, I conceived naturally at age 45. I was told by my doctors that my tubes were blocked and I would be unable to conceive. Now I have a healthy 3-year-old boy." -Jena King, Environmental Philanthropist

The Compleat Acupuncturist
Author: Peter Eckman
Publisher: Singing Dragon
ISBN: 0857011529
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
In this highly original and authoritative book, Peter Eckman takes pulse diagnosis as a common thread that links and integrates the various disciplines of Oriental medicine, and shows that they are in fact related by a common origin several thousand years ago. The text describes the clinical details used in a variety of acupuncture styles, synthesizing them into a coherent whole, and illustrating the usefulness of this model with an extensive presentation of case histories. A fundamental premise of the book is that treatment should be based not only on the current condition of the patient, but even more importantly on their inherent constitution. The description of constitutional pulse diagnosis therefore forms Part 1 of the text, the description of conditional pulse diagnosis forms Part 2 and Part 3 provides more than 30 case histories with pulse analysis, diagnosis and treatment (with outcomes), so that the book will be of utmost practical benefit. Much of the book consists of new theoretical schemata to organize traditional Oriental medical concepts into a coherent whole - groundbreaking work that will provide fresh insights and deeper understanding to all practitioners of Chinese medicine, especially acupuncturists. It presents a wealth of material that is not commonly available in Indian (Ayurveda), Korean or Chinese medicine, as well as other traditions of Oriental medicine, including the only thorough presentation of Korean Constitutional Acupuncture in English, based on the author's personal study under its originator.
