Microsystems Acupuncture : The Complete Guide: Ear - Scalp - Mouth - Hand

In the last fifty years, microsystem acupuncture has emerged as a
safe and effective therapeutic option for a wide range of conditions,
from cardiovascular and neurological disorders to obesity and
nicotine dependence. Its worldwide acceptance is largely due to the
ability of microsystem acupuncture to provide access for treatment,
even in the event of extreme local sensitivity to pain.

This book is a comprehensive overview of ear, scalp, mouth, and hand
acupuncture to help you understand the relationships between these
microsystems and the body. Integrating new and established methods,
the book covers such topics as Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, Korean
hand acupuncture, and laser acupuncture with concise text and more
than 350 photographs to allow for instant localization of all zones
and points. The range of techniques addressed makes this one-of-a-
kind work ideal for busy students and practitioners looking for an
overview of some of the most rapidly growing and innovative advances
in acupuncture and complementary medicine.
