ACUSOURCE: Meridian Theory

This acupuncture book, ACUSOURCE: Meridian Theory, an excerpt from the larger text, ACUSOURCE: Acupuncture Handbook, functions as a concise yet thorough study guide for acupuncture meridians and points of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The compilation of the information for this book was my method of studying for the acupuncture licensing examination. Therefore, it may be very good for licensing exam preparation. It is also intended to be a quick reference guide in professional practice. This book concisely and completely compiles information from commonly used text sources studied in acupuncture schools today, and organizes the information to be referenced quickly. It systematically summarizes characteristics of acupuncture meridians and points, such as: general meridian function, meridian count, meridian types, meridian classifications, meridian relationships, meridian point classifications, or energetic integrity, horizontal lines of points, body measurements for point location, flows and points for the twelve regular meridians, and eight spiritual vessels, and non-meridian points. Meridian point tables provide quick referencing of point numbers, various pinyin names, and English translations, classical and anatomical locations, energetic integrity, functions and indications, and insertion depths.
