From the Back Cover

PRINCIPLES OF ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is an ancient system of Chinese Medicine which is used to treat a wide range of disorders. It works on the energy of the body by inserting extremely fine needles into key points; this in turn disperses blockages, increases the function of specific organs and balances the overall energy of the body, mind and spirit.

This book will tell you:
• How acupuncture is used to restore health and energy
• How a diagnosis and treatment is carried out
• The benefits of acupuncture using patients' case histories
• How to find a good practitioner
