The SEIRIN Pictorial Atlas is a new kind of manual. It illustrates the whole range of acupuncture points and main channels, the Extraordinary Vessels Ren Mai and Du Mai, and the Extraordinary Points in a systematic and clear way. Each of the 409 important points is clarified through a series of three different illustrations: >a graphic indicates location on the body >an overview of channels illustrates the point in the context of its pathway >a photograph shows the acupuncture needle in position. By combining Chinese sources with the authors¡¯ experience in therapy, this book features a sensible balance between the most important indications and practical needs. The name, properties, and applications of the individual acupuncture points were then revised on this basis. The team of Chinese and German authors create a bridge between oriental and western views of acupuncture. This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners with an overview of the most important acupuncture points, but experienced practitioners can also learn about seldom-used acupuncture points and extend their knowledge.
