A must have for LAc's

This book condenses many insights of Master acupuncturist Shudo Denmei. He discusses many of the points he uses, when he uses them, and how often. He explains how to palpate and find the points too. I now regularly use much of what he so generously offers to the public.

Excellent for beginners and professionals alike

Quite a bit of useful information in one book with a very effective index at the back. Most helpful!

Finding Effective Acupuncture Points

This book is a great learning tool for acupuncturists. It teaches a Japanese perspective on the art of acupuncture and how to optimize the effectiveness of treatment. It gives a wholistic view on how acupuncture is very individualistic. It highlights how it is a profound medicine that is so unique to each individual practitioner and helps guide the practictioner on how to recognize imbalances through the touch.

A must have in any Acupuncture Library

Shudo Sensei is a true gift to the Acupuncture community. It is rare to find and acupuncturist with such great skill and even more rare to find one who is willing to share his information and personal experiences so openly. Shudo Sensei provides a practical look at points which are commonly used and explains proper needling technique, location and indications. He still stresses the need for a proper root treatment, but also provides "symptomatic" uses for points, along with stories of personal experience. Steven Brown does an amazing job translating this book and makes me think that his skill as a translator is only matched by his abilities as an acupuncturist. If you want your acupuncture treatments become more effective you must read this book.

A true master

I have been fortunate enough to attend a seminar with Shudo Demei and his ease, technique and understanding of acupuncture blew me away. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who wishes to improve their abilities as an acupuncturist. Shudo Sensei fills the pages with alternative point locations, alternative uses for common points, case histories, and clinical experience. The information in these pages can be found no where else as Shudo Sensei himself has based the majority of this information off his many years of clinical experience. I must also thank Stephen Brown for his great work in translating this book. His translation skills are matched only by his skills as an acupuncturist.
