The Practice of Acupuncture by Joerg Kastner, Elmar T. Peuker, Hans-Ulrich Hecker, and Angelika Steveling is a 664-page hardcover that distills centuries of TCM wisdom into a modern clinical textbook. Step-by-step photos and precise anatomical overlays show exactly where to place each needle, making point location refreshingly straightforward for students and seasoned practitioners alike.
Beyond meridian charts, the authors integrate treatment options for common and complex complaints, pairing acupuncture protocols with related complementary therapies. Readers gain a concise refresher on TCM basics—qi, yin-yang, and pattern differentiation—before diving into evidence-based discussions on safety, depth of insertion, and patient management.
