Historical records tell us acupuncture-moxibustion therapy has existed for more than 2000 years. Through the ages, Chinese practitioners have enriched and perfected it. Chinese acu-moxi therapy embodies the theoretical foundations of Chinese medicine: the theory of yin-yang, the five elements, zang-fu, channels and collaterals, qi, body fluid, aetiology and pathology, diagnosis, differentiation of syndromes, acupoints, techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion, and clinical application.

As well as serving as an introductory text for those embarking on a formal study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this book will be of interest to the general reader who desires a greater understanding of this ancient therapy.
