In this text, Western science and medicine are combined with traditional Chinese concepts. It includes an introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine, followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and the most important of acupuncture points. In the medical chapter a more direct and practical approach regarding the use of life force on the chakra levels has been adopted and the description of the various disorders and their treatment expanded.

Basics of Acupuncture is a unique introductory book; for the first time Western science and medicine are combined with traditional Chinese concepts. It begins with a review of the scientific basis of acupuncture and relevant research. An introduction to the philosophy and theory of traditional Chinese medicine is then followed by a detailed account of diagnosis and description of the Chinese system of channels, functional organs and most important acupuncture points. The remainder of the book is devoted to treatment, based on Western modes of diagnosis. The methods and applications of needling and moxibustion are described, and the most important points are given for frequently encountered diseases.
From a review in a German journal: "...this book was written by a physician for physicians and medical students alike and is characterized by a high degree of practical relevance...In addition to describing the 120 most important acupuncture points and depicting them in clear illustrations, this volume also provides a survey of the therapeutic principles and the selection of acupuncture points for the most important diseases..."
