The Essence of Acupuncture - The Path to Clinical Success (Volume II) Hardcover – January 22, 2026

This book is the second volume in the Essence of Acupuncture and Moxibustion series, focusing on the treatment of acupuncture. This section is primarily compiled based on selected acupuncture verses recorded in the “Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (Zhenjiu Dacheng)”.Acupuncture verses were created by ancient TCM practitioners, who, based on their knowledge and years of experience, composed simple, easy-to-understand, and memorable rhymes covering the fundamentals of acupuncture, meridians, acupoints, clinical needling techniques, and acupuncture treatment methods.These verses are the crystallization of the wisdom and valuable experience of generations of acupuncture practitioners and serve as an important tool in clinical practice. Acupuncturists should memorize them thoroughly, so that in clinical work they can apply them skillfully and with confidence.These verses are relatively scattered in content, making them difficult to reference in clinical practice, especially for Chinese medicine practitioners who did not graduate from acupuncture programs. Therefore, I have extracted the acupoint selection and treatment portions from ten verses, including the “Ode on a Hundred Disorders (Baizheng Fu)”, and organized them by anatomical region to facilitate quick reference during clinical consultations.Additionally, I have provided a detailed explanation of the main principles and significance behind most of the selected acupoints, offering insight into the reasoning of the ancient masters when choosing acupoints in clinical practice.
