Previously only available as part of Stux' Acupuncture - Textbook and Atlas, the selector is now available in a package together with three new posters which depict the most important acupuncture points topographically. Photographs of the human skin were deliberately not used, as they do not allow the structures directly beneath the surface to be portrayed. To ensure a clear and exact representation, the bones have been drawn in the background. The selector presents the various categories of acupuncture points in tabular form, enabling the user to recognize the most important points of a meridian at a glance. An indispensable aid for every acupuncturist.
