Applying Stems and Branches Acupuncture in Clinical Practice: Dynamic Dualities in Classical Chinese Medicine

Stems and Branches is a style of classical acupuncture which uses the fundamental, cyclical rhythms of nature and life as a foundation for patient health and development. This book is one of the first of its kind in the western world to offer a practical but scholarly approach to applying the theory to clinical practice, and is based on the author's 40 years' worth of international experience as a lecturer, acupuncturist, and physiotherapist. He was a student of Dr van Buren, a pioneer in the practical use of Chinese philosophy in acupuncture.
This handbook guides the practitioner on how to confidently diagnose and treat patients based on the Stems and Branches theory whilst providing invaluable insight into the use of Chinese philosophy, psychology and pulse diagnosis.
