five elements and ten stems

just starting to read en learn more about this theory.

A modern classic

This is a great book for people who want to know more about 5 phase acupuncture. I have owned this book for about 3 years, and have gone back to it over and over. Each time I pick it up, I find something new. While some "cookie-cutter" approaches to 5 phase styles are presented, there is also enough theoretical meat to keep the reader interested. Great book to have in your collection!

Great book!

This book explains the five phases(as in the chinese classics) in a very understandable manner. It is much more comprehensive than many other books on the same subject. Highly recomended...
