Acupuncture and moxibustion are one of the most important contributions our ancestors have made to humankind. In the narrow sense, acupuncture and moxibustion refer to medical therapy, whilst broadly, they are an integral science consisting of four subdisciplines: the subject of meridians and acupoints, the subject of acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, the subject of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, and the subject of experimental acupuncture and moxibustion.

Using modern knowledge to shed light on ancient techniques, this text examines two of the earliest therapeutic techniques of Chinese medicine: acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is the implantation of very thin needles into subcutaneous connective tissue and muscle at a great number of different points on the body's surface; moxibustion is the burning of Artemisia tinder (moxa) either directly on the skin or just above it. For 2500 years the Chinese have used both techniques to relieve pain and to heal a wide variety of illnesses and malfunctions. Providing a full historical account of acupuncture and moxibustion in the theoretical structure of Chinese medicine, Doctors Lu and Needham combine it with a rationale of the two techniques in the light of modern scientific knowledge.

Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to the clinical application of single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, with a special emphasis on methods and needle techniques. Single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy differs from other forms of acupuncture in that only one point is selected during each session. The single point technique is noted for its quick therapeutic response and exceptional results, despite using far fewer points than traditional acupuncture therapy. It is a simple technique for practitioners to master, and patients are quick to extol the virtues of the single-point approach. Author Dr. Decheng Chen describes in detail how to treat one hundred of the most common clinical ailments, including headaches, neck pain, hypertension, and even the common cold. Dr. Chen uses both Western and traditional Chinese medical theory to describe his treatment methods. Each section consists of an introduction to the disease, a detailed explanation of the needle technique used, a case study of the treatment, and a discussion. With its easy-to-use format and step-by-step instructions, Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is the definitive single point acupuncture guide for teachers, students, and acupuncture practitioners alike.
