Liu Gongwang (red.): Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion

“The ancient acupuncturists made a constant and profound study for over a long period of time on the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. After many years of clinical observation and analysis with ancient viewpoints, they thought that the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy lie in dredging and activating the meridians and collaterals, regulating deficiency and excess, and equilibrating the Yin and Yang of the human body. On the basis of these mechanisms, the ancient acupuncturists worked out the principles of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy and combing them with the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).”
