The classic Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that channels of energy run in even patterns through the body and across its surface. These energy channels, named meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nitrify the tissues. A blockage in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dyke that backs up in others. The meridians may be molded by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles release the blockages at the dams and restore the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments may, therefore, help the body’s internal organs to rectify instabilities in their digestion, absorption, and energy production actions, and in the circulation of their power through the meridians.

Now in its 2nd edition, An Introduction to Western Medical Acupuncture provides a broad evidence-based approach to acupuncture when used as part of modern medicine. Illustrated throughout it gives the practitioner an essential guide for deciding where and how to treat conditions with acupuncture, and how to avoid known risks associated with it. Ultimately it provides the practitioner with a tool to develop safe and effective practice. For this edition the text has been revised, updated and extensively re-written. A new chapter brings together the understanding of how pain is recognised by the nervous system, and how acupuncture can influence these pathways. This is followed by six chapters providing detailed explanations of the effects and mechanisms of acupuncture, organised according to three recognised treatment approaches – needling to produce local changes, to generate effects at the level of the spinal segment, and to modify the overall function of the nervous system. The chapters on the evidence from research have been also updated. - An explanation of the various mechanisms of acupuncture linked to how they can best be activated by needling. - Learn the principles of treatment rather than any 'cook-book' approach. - Clear and objective discussion of the evidence for the effectiveness and the risks of acupuncture. - Thorough and detailed description of all aspects of clinical practice. - Reference section for quickly reminding the practitioner of the best approach to treating many problems.

“Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding. Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify this centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold, pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine—theory, therapy, and types—to present a comprehensive, yet understandable guide to this ancient system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . . Here at last is a complete and readable guide to Chinese medicine.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Self Healing Guide. Learn self acupuncture combined with relaxation, herbs, diet and hydrotherapy healing practices for the 70 most frequent diseases. Reading the book, you will be able to understand and apply simple but effective self acupuncture. Moreover prayer, meditation, self-hypnosis, muscle test for selecting food-substances, fasting therapy, fruit therapy, raw food diet, Mediterranean diet, sprouts, home spa bath, home steam bath, use of herbs (preparation of infusions, decoctions, ointments, oils, tinctures, compresses, poultices), "panacea herbs" and grandma's remedies are some of the healing treatments for the 70 most frequent diseases, which are extensively analyzed in the book. For instance headache is a common ailment people all over the world suffer from. The book provides detailed alternative treatments for it, for example you can insert a needle at the point between the eyebrows, called Extra 1 or third eye. Or you can massage gently this point with slow circular movements, do fast eye movements in all directions and then drink some soothing tea as chamomile, common lime, St John's wort, melissa, oregano or common thyme depending on the muscle test for selecting food-substances. If you are afraid of needles, stick adhesive magnets on acupoints using the instructions in the book. If you think you are unable to find the points, don't worry because the book is accompanied by a DVD with detailed demonstration of how to find the acupuncture points. There is nothing easier than inserting a needle exactly where it hurts. You can also use the grandma's remedies for headache which are mentioned in the book: a. chew one rue (ruta graveolens) leaf. b. sniff 5 drops of marjoram (origanum majorana) leaves juice. c. patients suffering from migraine must avoid chocolates, milk and combining wine with cheese. d. tie the suffering area with compresses or bandanna impregnated with vinegar or lemon. e. place a raw potato or onion slice on the suffering area, refresh it every hour. f. for headache due to menopause drink infusion of 10g saffron crocus (crocus sativus) in 1 L water. g. massage the suffering area using 5 drops of essential oil lavandula officinalis or mentha piperata or origanum majorana. h. have a cold footbath, especially if you have warm feet. i. massage the lobule of the ear ipsilateral to the pain or the dominant ear for 15 minutes. j. put herbs that you like in your pillow. The Knowledge acquired from this book is directly applicable anytime, anywhere and by anyone, even without a needle. Help yourself, when you need it, with simple, inexpensive healing methods without side effects. For the first time on a global level, it is stated in the book that the Primary Meridians (the main energy routes in the human body) consist of ten vibrating fibers, and the space between them fluctuates in proportion to the yin and yang energy. For the first time on a global level, the waveform of the energy which is absorbed or emitted from the head of the needle at stimulation or dispersion during acupuncture is analyzed in the book. For the first time, the Hellenic herbal needles are mentioned and details are provided for their use; I strongly suggest that they should be exported abroad. For the first time a great number of herbs are classified according to the Empedoclean-Hippocratic doctrine. You have been created in image and likeness of God, which means you have endless potential of spiritual evolution and self-healing. Knowledge of self-treatment is the way to find happiness, the conquest of happiness is waiting for you...
