I haven’t had time to read the whole book of course but reading through a few pages here and there I find it extremely informative. I once read a negative criticism about the author but ofcourse everyone is entitled to there opinion. In my case I find this book very informative. I’ve been looking for a book that goes into more detail about the Eight Xtra-ordinary vessels and this book is it. Ofcourse I will continue my search on the uses because most successful practioners I have met stress the impotance of this understanding.

This is a must have for all Acupunture students. Great visual pictures and outlines as well as theoretical description that makes sense and puts things into perspective.

This book answers countless questions I had while in school,demystifies how acupoints create their effects and has improved my treatment design hugely. After reading the Table of Contents and sampling sections of the book I decided to read it from cover to cover. I know its expensive but its a lot cheaper than a single 3 semester hour course and contains the knowledge of several courses.
