This book really helped flesh out my understanding of the Japanese approach to acupuncture and moxibustion. As an acupuncturist coming from TCM training, it has really helped me think twice about how I treat, and some ideas on how to work the Japanese 'less is more' approach to acupuncture, as well as root and branch treatments. The book gives a good overview.

Waiting for anothr contributions from tthese wining team of excellent acupuncturist maybe a review of the actual occidental deseases and the comparative effect of each method including an actualisation of the heritage of manaka findings ?
