Acupuncture Explained

The book provides a clear, easy-to-read account of what Chinese acupuncture is, how it works, and what it can treat—all expressed in terms that Western readers can understand. Hence, it can be fruitfully read by any patient who wishes to understand their treatment, how it works and the thinking behind it; or read by acupuncture students who wish to quickly obtain this same overview of the subject—to complement their more detailed studies and to also learn how to communicate the subject to patients.

Fletcher Kovich runs his own Chinese acupuncture practice in the UK. He previously wrote the textbook Acupuncture Today and in Ancient China, which this book is a reduction of.
