Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion

Acupuncture and moxibustion are indispensable parts of tra-ditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of disease.

The book consists of eighteen chapters and two appendices. Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion was compiled by the International Acupuncture Train-ing Centres and Acupuncture Institute of China, Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, on commission of the Ministry of Public Health.
