Great intro book for facial acupuncture..:
My specialty is NOT facial acupuncture, however I do plan on doing it more and more often... The book gives you basic concepts, and of course not only focusing on wrinkles and dark circles using needles... but also using body points and herbs... Not sure if I will "make" my own herbal masks, but it is a great idea. Overall, great book with great pictures! Keep up the good work Doc...
Not for the general public:
I found this book disappointing, for reasons I will explain below. The first thing I wanted to note, however, is that this book is not designed for the general public. Unless you have a background in Chinese medicine (particularly herbal and acupuncture interventions), this book will be confusing and quite possibly frustrating. As an acupuncturist, I found this book to be broad in scope but light on details. It certainly is not the "bible of excellence" as one reviewer noted, although I do not doubt... more info
an okay book:
But...it was difficult to reference the point locations, this is a good book for a practitioner, but for a student, I had to use it along-side a chart...
good to the point info...:
This book is useful with specific protocols for certain conditions. But it lacks breadth and does not cover a whole lot. 4 stars because info on facial acu is hard to find.
