Product Description
In this update of the 2001 English version of a pocket atlas published in German in 1999, 2005, and 2007. German physicians who practice acupuncture present a visual-didactic introduction to the major acupuncture points (Part I), auricular (ear) acupuncture points (Part II), and trigger points (Part III). The description of each point includes the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology, Western anatomical nomenclature, exact location, indication, depth of needling, function in TCM, and clinical tips. Illustrations include color drawings and photographs. Many of the references are in German.

 Very good for what it covers November 2, 2008

I have found this book very useful for certain points. Unfortunately the Body Acupuncture Points section only covers about 117 points and does not cover all the points I need. For example, for the Lung Channel it only includes Lu-1, Lu-5, Lu-7, Lu-9, and Lu-11. The Pericardium Channel only includes Pc-3, Pc-6, and Pc-7. The Kidney Channel covers Ki-3, Ki-6, Ki-7, and Ki-27. The drawings and pictures, as well as the information provided on these points, are very good. I like the fact that not only do they have drawings but actual human body pictures locating the points, and it does show most of the points on these pictures, even though it does not name or describe them. br / br /Some additional points are shown in Section 3, Trigger Points, but that section is basically by muscle or section and the points come incidental to treatment and are not listed in the index so it is not easy to find them. Also the information on these points is limited to a diagram and a brief description of location so it is useful only for treating the particular trigger point. This section is the largest section in the book and covers 35 muscles or muscle groups. The information provided in this section appears to be very good. br / br /Part 2 of the book, Ear Acupuncture, is very good and probably would rate five stars. br / br /I would probably buy this book again because it is very good for the covered areas with useful concise information, but it is limited. If it covered more points, it would definitely be a five star book.
 Great atlas! October 24, 2008

Very good and compact reference. Outstandingly clear depiction of the points. br /The only missing thing I'd like to be included is the meridian activity time-table.
We'd like more... January 14, 2008

I brought this booklet to acupuncture school and compared it with the other Atlas of acupuncture, the other students had. We all wanted all the information that all the atlas have, on a single booklet. All the acu. pts. plus TTP, ear pts., pulses, etc. Even if the booklet becomes a book.

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It is a good combination of western and eastern viewpoints. The ear points are well illustrated, and overall, the points are described clearly and concisely. An easy to consult index allows one to look up specific issues quickly. I am a licensed massage therapist who works with Traditional Chinese Medicine, and this book is a great addition to my reference library.
A NICE POCKET BOOK April 30, 2005

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR ACUPUNCTURE POCKET BOOK YOU WILL FIND A VERY NICE ONE. WITH PRECISE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOS. br / ITS POCKET SIZE IS SUPERB. IT CAN BE USED AS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE. br /I GAVE IT FOUR STARS BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS ACUPUNCTURE ATLAS LEADING ME TO THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE A COMPLETE ATLAS WITH ALL POINTS, BUT IT ONLY COVERS SOME POINTS,MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES. br /OVERALL IT'S A NICE POCKET BOOK BUT NOT FOR BEGGINERS WHO MUST LOOK FOR A COMPLETE TEXTBOOK BEFORE BUYING THIS,
