In this update of the 2001 English version of a pocket atlas
published in German in 1999, 2005, and 2007, German physicians who
practice acupuncture present a visual-didactic introduction to the major
acupuncture points (Part I), auricular (ear) acupuncture points (Part
II), and trigger points (Part III). The description of each point
includes the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology, Western
anatomical nomenclature, exact location, indication, depth of needling,
function in TCM, and clinical tips. Illustrations include color drawings
and photographs. Many of the references are in German.
