Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to the clinical application of single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, with a special emphasis on methods and needle techniques. Single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy differs from other forms of acupuncture in that only one point is selected during each session. The single point technique is noted for its quick therapeutic response and exceptional results, despite using far fewer points than traditional acupuncture therapy. It is a simple technique for practitioners to master, and patients are quick to extol the virtues of the single-point approach. Author Dr. Decheng Chen describes in detail how to treat one hundred of the most common clinical ailments, including headaches, neck pain, hypertension, and even the common cold. Dr. Chen uses both Western and traditional Chinese medical theory to describe his treatment methods. Each section consists of an introduction to the disease, a detailed explanation of the needle technique used, a case study of the treatment, and a discussion. With its easy-to-use format and step-by-step instructions, Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is the definitive single point acupuncture guide for teachers, students, and acupuncture practitioners alike.
Contains meridian theory, syndrome-differentiation, therapeutic principles and a myriad of case studies to illustrate the scope of healing utilizing a single acupuncture point. This title covers herbal therapies, moxibustion and needling techniques necessary for optimal results.
Acupuncture therapy with single point is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. Needling a meridian meeting point is to needle one point to treat two meridians. When the cause involves two or more internal organs, it may be treated by the meeting points of meridians. The eight meeting points between extraordinary meridians and twelve master meridians refer to the points at which energy of the eight extraordinary meridians meet with that of the twelve master meridians. Needling at such meeting points is capable of producing a double effect of the twelve master meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. Chinese acupuncture was originated in Yellow Emperor's Classics in which 66 diseases were treated by single point. In the first acupuncture classic entitled, First Classic Of Acupuncture And Moxibustion published in 282, a total of over 800 diseases were listed for acupuncture treatment among which 728 diseases were treated by single points. It was not until the publication of Living Classic Of Acupuncture And Moxibustion in 1220 that acupuncture therapy with multiple points became popular. The first national Chinese conference on acupuncture therapy with single point was held in 1989, with 81 representatives attending and 151 theses presented at the conference; followed by the second conference in 1991, and the third conference in 1992. There are a few characteristics of this type of acupuncture therapy. First of all, it puts emphasis on syndromes differentiation. Take headache as an example, headache in the forehead should be treated by Li4, headache on one side of the head should be treated by Lu7. In the second place, different methods of treatment should be applied, depending on the nature of diseases, such as needling, moxibustion, point injection, and cupping etc. In the third place, different treatment strategies should be applied to deal with different syndromes of diseases, such as toning up deficiency and sedating excess, sedating the child and toning up the mother.

Acupuncture and moxibustion are one of the most important contributions our ancestors have made to humankind. In the narrow sense, acupuncture and moxibustion refer to medical therapy, whilst broadly, they are an integral science consisting of four subdisciplines: the subject of meridians and acupoints, the subject of acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, the subject of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, and the subject of experimental acupuncture and moxibustion.
This scholarly and comprehensive textbook comprises three parts: Channels and Points; Acupuncture and Moxibustion Techniques; Treatment of Diseases. Based on the ancient classics of traditional Chinese medicine, modern clinical practice, and recent research, Acupuncture and Moxibustion is a wonderful textbook both for international students and an essential reference for practitioners. Its editorial board, composed of well-known Chinese and Western acupuncture practitioners, has ensured that the English edition conforms to high academic standards.
Cancer is one of the leading killers in the world and the incidence is increasing, but most cancer patients and cancer survivors suffer much from the disease and its conventional treatments’ side effects. In the past, clinical data showed that some complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) possessed anticancer abilities, but some clinicians and scientists have queried about the scientific validity of CAM due to the lack of scientific evidence. There is great demand in narrowing the knowledge gap to explore the scientific and evidence-based knowledge of CAM in the anticancer field. With this aim, an unparalleled undertaking of a book series is launched to structurally consolidate this area. Although acupuncture and moxibustion have been practiced for millennia, they have come under scientific investigation only recently. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been used clinically to treat cancer-related symptoms (e.g. cancer pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia), manage treatment-induced side effects (e.g. hot flashes, nausea and vomiting) and enhance immunity (e.g. blood cell count, lymphocyte and natural killer cell activity). This is the first book manages to provide comprehensive and updated scientific evidence of the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion intervention for cancer care. Laboratory and animal studies have uncovered the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer therapy. Promising results of most clinical trials show the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion in cancer management. This book consists of fifteen chapters which address a range of important aspects that will impact on the application of acupuncture and moxibustion. An overview of the safety and side effects of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer care are also covered. In addition, the integration of acupuncture with Western medicine in cancer treatment and recent clinical trials are included as well. Opinion leaders around the world have teamed up to pursue a thorough and up-to-date review of the area, this volume will contribute great to the cancer, clinical and academic community by providing evidence-based information on the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion as an anticancer therapy.
