This
work is edited by two highly respected Chinese professors
and practitioners. They present many new ideas they hope
will popularize acupuncture and stimulate academic development.
The 69 articles each contain a brief introduction to
the author, giving background and major achievements.
There is an overview of the theory, technique, prescription,
acumoxa treatment, and instruments applied.
Additionally, there is a consideration
of case records and an analysis of the clinical specialty.
A total of 293 widely varied cases
are collected including: penetrating acupuncture
with gold needles, suppurating moxibustion, treatment
of scrofula, wind stroke and paraplegia, techniques of
superficial insertion and frequent rotation, treatment
of difficult diseases with the eight methods, point injection
and ear acupuncture, bloodletting, and research on breast
tumors.
