A fascinating read from cover to cover this book contains a wealth of information on both the classical and modern understanding of acupuncture and the energetics of the body – from Hara diagnosis to the electrical properties of the meridians, from embryology to the Nei Jing.

This book lays out clearly the classical theory of the Five Elements and their correspondences. There are chapters on Five Element and pulse diagnosis as well as many case histories and specific treatments of Japanese Masters such as Honma Sensei and Shudo Sensei.
