Doctrine Of Acupuncture: The Ancient Truths Of Acupuncture

The Doctrine of Acupuncture by Dr. Jiao, Shun Fa offers an in-depth explanation of the true meaning of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon plus several related medical texts. Dr. Jiao has translated parts of these classics to help readers better understand their inner wisdom and to do justice to the brilliant ideas of the ancient masters who wrote them. The Doctrine of Acupuncture has great originality and practicability. By systematically summarizing and refining the essential elements of these classics, Dr. Jiao uses his years of clinical experience to present a new theory of acupuncture derived from a unique and ingenious point of view. Among its many treasures, this translation includes new insights into acupuncture's Jingluo system, along with extensive reflections on - and new interpretations of - the ancient texts themselves. In addition to analyzing the lore handed down in these writings, moreover, Dr. Jiao offers bold corrections of interpretative mistakes that have been made through the centries by both physicians and scholars. In Doctrine of Acupuncture he rectifies these errors and in the process reveals the true inner meaning behind many previously misunderstood textural passages. The result of these efforts provides readers with a deeper, sharper insight into the true principles of Chinese medicine, offering fresh, new interpretations that can be passed down to future generations of students and acupuncturists. This translation, it should finally said, is based on Dr. Jiao's 50 years of clinical practice, plus his extensive work and research in the field of head acupuncture. As a neurosurgeon as well as an acupuncturist, he has much to offer contemporary clinical practitioners both East and West.
