Drawing on 44 years of teaching and studying both acupuncture and human anatomy, the author presents a compilation of 70 full-color illustrations that depict the layered anatomy of the body and denote the acupuncture points in relation to the skin, muscles, blood vessels and nerves, organs, and skeleton. Additionally, the author describes the points of the 14 channels and reviews each point in terms of its indications, point location, patient posturing, and the direction, angle, and depth of insertion for needling. He further lists channel-by-channel precautions in acupuncture treatments and selected points for treatment of 117 Western-named common diseases.
