T PREFACE Each passing year, Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion (Zhenjiu) attracts the attention of more and more people from countries all over the world. ~odem research also is clearly proving that acupuncture is a credible form of health care. As a result the demand for knowledge in this field has drarnatically increased, not only from students and practitioners of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but from the Western medical community as well. The numbers of students and practitioners of Chinese Zhenjiu has dramatically increased too. , We decided to publish this book, "Advanced Modem Chinese Acupuncture Therapy", to meet the demand for an advanced textbook and an advanced clinical handbook of Chinese Zhenjiu for students and practitioners of Chinese Zhenjiu. It is meant as a comprehensive text and/or handbook for students and practitioners of Zhenjiu, and a reference for those within the field of Western medicine who may be interested to leam about Chinese medicine. The book bas two parts. Part One introduces a basic knowledge of Zhenjiu, including Jingluo (meridians and collaterals), standard locations, properties, actions, point indications and Zhenjiu methods, specifie points and clinical applications, treatment principles and selection of points. It also comprehensively details the arts of Zhenjiu and its techniques. Part Two discusses in detail 105 common clinical diseases and morbid conditions which respond weil to the application of Zhenjiu. Each disease is described in Western medical terms and differentiated in accordance with the Chinese theory of syndromes. Treatment is divided into standard treatment and experiential treatment, in which many simple and effective methods are described. Indexes of acuppints in Chinese Pinyin, symptoms and diseases known to Western medical science? and diseases known to Traditional Chinese Medicine , (TCM) in both Pinyin and characters are provided. As Professors of Acupuncture and experienced acupuncture practitioners both in China and overseas (Canada, the United States, Russia and Singapore), we have had many years of experience combining theory with 'practice and teaching Zhenjiu in English. Our book in English includes information on basic theoretical knowledge of Zhenjiu and regular principles and methods of :zh'enjiu in the treatment of diseases (which are always seen in the main current textbooks of Zhenjiu in English). It also

PREFACE

contains other important information on Zhenjiu, including actions of points, cornbination of points, Zhenjiu manipulations and invaluable clinical experience, which is seldom given in texts and reference rnanuals in English. We believe that a good Zhenjiu_ doctor Îmist not- only know the basic theory and techniques of his/her discipline. lt is also imperative that the doctor has an advanced knowledge of Zhenjiu and experiential knowledge must be part of the picture. Zhenjiu is based on the common theory and_common clinical techniques of Chinese medicine as weil as advanced _theoretical knowledge and clinical experiences of practitioners. Having a good knowledge of the .former can rnake one a Zhenjiu doctor, but having a good knowledge of the latter, based on the former, can make one an outstanding doctor. We are also dedicated to the process of cornbining Zhenjiu with Western medicine . • Blending acupuncture and moxibustion with Western medicine is very important in irnproving the results of Zhenjiu treatment, sùnnnarizing treatrnent experiences, and widening its application to the prevention and treatinent of disease. The diseases in Part Two are named and introduced briefly according to Western medical practice and translated into the terms of Chinese medicine. As now more and more students and practitioners of Chinese medicine in Western countries have a knowledge of Western medicine, the book is designed so that they can take advantage of that knowledge. Also almost every practitioner of Chinese medicine has to have sorne knowledge of Western medicine and the book is designed so that he or she might leam the necessary knowledge of Western medicine. This unique book should meet an increasing demand for knowledge of TCM, and shows specifically how Zhenjiu can be used effectively to treat diseases in a modem acupuncture clinic. _.
