The names, properties, and applications of theindividual acupuncture points have been revised onthis basis. Far-Eastern healing methods and Westernobservation techniques create a bridge between Asianand Western views of acupuncture.This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners withan overview of the most important acupuncture points,but experienced practitioners can also learn aboutseldom used acupuncture points and thus extend theirknowledge."
