The curriculum of most schools of Chinese medicine is usually broken down into the following topics concerning the theory of Chinese medicine: Physiology of the Internal Organs; Aetiology; Diagnosis; Patterns of disharmony of the Internal Organs. In addition, the acupuncture curriculum is based on the study of the channels and points.Within each of these topics, various parts of the body are discussed. For example, when studying diagnosis the subject is broken down into interrogation, observation, palpation and auscultation. Within each of these broad areas, students study the diagnostic elements of specific areas. The result is that areas become disjointed and there is nothing to connect elements of channels and points relevant to specific areas.Giovanni Maciocia wrote The Energetics and Treatment of Body Areas - The Vertex, with the purpose to turn this attitude on its head and to place areas first so that everything else is subordinate to that. This book places the vertex first and each diagnostic and therapeutic element relevant to the vertex is discussed together.

A note from the author: I'm an acupuncturist with over 20 years experience. This book started life when I graduated in 1992 and found there was no definitive guide to the spirits of acupuncture points. I researched and wrote the original Spirits and Functions book, first published in 1994. I have really enjoyed updating the book and including things such as the location of each point, which make this volume so useful in the clinic.I know that my knowledge about acupuncture has increased significantly through my further research and editing of the book. I'm reminded of points I'd "forgotten" and have been inspired to use points I'd not needled before. I hope that you too will find this book informative and inspirationalScroll up to the top of the page and use Look Inside feature before you buy!
