Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture

The complete study reference for Traditional Chinese Medicine: acupuncture points, acupressure, meridians, Chinese herbs, formulas, tongue and pulse diagnosis, Yin Yang, the Five Elements, body constitutions, Chinese dietetics and Qi Gong — one structured library for progressive learning. Practice exams and flashcards for acupuncture and TCM board exams, plus clinical review for practitioners. POINT ATLAS, ACUPOINTS & ACUPRESSURE 363 acupuncture points, illustrated: exact location, function, point category (Source, Luo, Xi-Cleft, Influential, Command) and clinical application. The twelve primary meridians — Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine, Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, Triple Burner, Gallbladder and Liver — with pathway, function and organ relationship. A 3D body view to follow the meridians and locate points, plus five microsystems: ear (auricular), scalp, hand, abdomen and face. Acupressure is the needle-free complement: the same map applied with manual pressure. Points for back pain, headache, sleep, digestion and stress are flagged for daily use. CHINESE HERBS & HERBAL FORMULAS 86 herbs with taste, thermal nature, organ and meridian entry, functions, category, dosage, preparation, contraindications and known interactions, by category from releasing the exterior to tonifying Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang. 30 classical formulas explained through the Chief, Deputy, Assistant and Envoy roles: the logic behind every prescription in Chinese herbal medicine. DIAGNOSIS: TONGUE, PULSE & EIGHT PRINCIPLES Eight methods, each with a guided walkthrough: tongue, pulse, Eight Principles (Ba Gang), Zang-Fu patterns, Five Elements, meridians, inquiry and constitution. Tongue — body colour, shape and coating, with the regional map: tip Heart and Lung, middle Spleen and Stomach, root Kidney, sides Liver and Gallbladder. Pulse — floating, deep, rapid, slow, slippery, wiry, tight, choppy, weak, empty, full and fine, with the three wrist positions and their organs. CONSTITUTIONS & CHINESE DIETETICS The nine body constitutions of the Chinese standard, each with its signs, tendencies and daily guidance. Food energetics — thermal nature, flavour and organ affinity — seasonal eating, therapeutic recipes and a plate reader that reviews a meal in TCM terms. EXTERNAL THERAPIES, QI GONG & LONGEVITY Moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and tuina step by step: materials, how a session runs, zones, marks, contraindications and aftercare. Qi Gong with posture guidance — Ba Duan Jin, Wu Qin Xi, Liu Zi Jue, Yi Jin Jing and seated foundations — plus longevity and yang sheng routines.
