Description

Gives an overview of the somatotopies in the acupuncture of the Ear, Skull, Mouth, & Hand. Concise explanatory texts accompany the large-formatted photographic images that show the position of acupuncture zones and points. - By Hecker (2005)

In Microsystems Acupuncture, an internationally renowned team of experts provide the most up-to-date information on the theory and practice of the most innovative developments in the field. In recent decades, somatotopes have become increasingly important in the practice of acupuncture as more and more physicians are incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine into their practices. These treatment methods, such as auricular acupuncture, have been proven valuable not only as diagnostic tools, but as adjuncts or alternatives to body acupuncture under certain circumstances.

In the last fifty years, microsystem acupuncture has emerged as a safe and effective therapeutic option for a wide range of conditions, from cardiovascular and neurological disorders to obesity and nicotine dependence. Its worldwide acceptance is largely due to the ability of microsystem acupuncture to provide access for treatment, even in the event of extreme local sensitivity to pain.

This book is a comprehensive overview of ear, scalp, mouth, and hand acupuncture to help you understand the relationships between these microsystems and the body. Integrating new and established methods, the book covers such topics as Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, Korean hand acupuncture, and laser acupuncture with concise text and more than 350 photographs to allow for instant localization of all zones and points. The range of techniques addressed makes this one-of-a-kind work ideal for busy students and practitioners looking for an overview of some of the most rapidly growing and innovative advances in acupuncture and complementary medicine.



With beautiful full-color illustrations and detailed diagrams, the book provides full coverage of:

• Auricular acupuncture – with basic information on innervation zones and detailed information on the topographical location of points arranged according to regions and indications
