A book for all acupuncturists

Dr. Tin Yau So is often called the "Father of American Acupuncture." He was the founder of the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest school of Chinese medicine in the U.S., and was one of my grand-teachers. This book is a very detailed description of the location of acupuncture points. It details not only how to find each point but also how to needle the points and what reaction to expect (a feature unique to this text). Dr. So also gives lengthy effects for each point. As Dr. So was trained in China prior to the communists' invention of "TCM" style acupuncture, many of his point location are not standard compared with current Chinese texts. Thus, his locations and uses of points are often provocative, questioning the material that many TCM practitioners learned and use. That said, this book is good for both beginner and advanced practitioners as it contains information no longer "politically correct" by communist Chinese standards. A must have for all professional practitioners of Chinese medicine!
