Our Books on Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Therapy

There are many questions from our clients for what is acupuncture, how acupuncture works, what kinds of diseases acupuncture can help and more. There are also misunderstandings among acupuncture students that they have already learnt all the knowledge about acupuncture. This is not true. There are strong voices now among Chinese acupuncturists that textbook acupuncture, e.g. the acupuncture taught in schools, is not proper for acupuncture practice in many aspects. It is away from what the original acupuncture bibles told us to practice, and the success rate of the textbook acupuncture is far less than the actual ways of acupuncture in daily clinic. Because this, there are more than 40 styles of acupuncture that are practiced in current clinics,  We prepared the following series of books about acupuncture. Some are for ordinary clients who seek acupuncture for the treatment. Some are more for newly graduated acupuncturists, who finished school education on acupuncture but have no any practical experience yet.
