This is the second volume in the "Practical Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology" series. With a view to practicability and convenience, this book, unlike most acupuncture books, does not simply explain the location, function, and pathological indications of each acupoint, nor does it merely list the syndromes and the points to be applied. Instead, while introducing one acupoint, the book also provides detailed information on the main points to be combined with it in treating different types of diseases as well as the point variations for the different syndromes of the same diseases.

Explaining the course a practitioner would need to follow in order to decide upon the correct point-combinations, the book presents the differential diagnoses necessary to determine underlying conditions.

This text is more appropriate for clinicians and practitioners of TCM.
