Shun Fa Jiao

Miraculous Way of Needles

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a total new interpretation of acupuncture's Jingmai theories by Dr. Jiao Shun Fa. They are based on ancient texts of Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. Dr. Jiao has worked tirelessly for more than 40 years developing clinical acupuncture treatments and conducting extensive medical research in the field of Chinese medicine. His medical writings include Head Acupuncture, Jiao Shun Fa Head Acupuncture, Carotid Drip Liquid in the Treatment of Cerebrovascular Disease, Seeking the Truth of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Soul of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Acupuncture and Moxibustion Theory and Clinical Practice, Treating Diseases with Acupuncture and more than ten other texts published in China and abroad. His new version of the classic Chinese medical text, the Ling Shu, is his lastest and in many ways most important contribution to the literature of contemporary Chinese medicine. Acupuncture treatment is an ancient healing science that was developed by scholars millenia ago in ancient China. As early as 2500 B.C. its fundamental method of treating disease by inserting needles into key energy points throughout the body was explained in the first chapter of the famous Ling Shu - Nine Needles and Twelve Yuan-Source Points. This groundbreaking book has remained a classic of Chinese medicine since the time it was written. Yet, due to misunderstandings of its sophisticated and complex content over the centuries, a substantial part of the Ling Shu's essential teachings has been lost or misinterpreted. This loss, in turn, has had a profoundly negative impact on the transmission of accurate acupuncture knowledge, even up to the modern era. The time has come, therefore, for a new interpretation of this ancient text - an interpretation that revises the many errors and misinterpretations that have plagued this great work over the centuries, and that better captures its original meaning and intent. The present book, it is hoped, will provide this needed corrective, amending errors that have crept into the text, clarifying important medical issues, and protecting its luminous medical insights for the use of future generations to come.

Autorenporträt

Head acupuncture is a therapy applied by needling specific areas of the scalp to treat ailments. It was developed by combining the theories and techniques of traditional acupuncture with modern physiology's insights into the anatomy of the nervous system, and was honed through scientific research and clinical practice in the course of many years. The first comprehensive study of head acupuncture, "Head Acupuncture Therapy," was published on March 18, 1971. Thanks to its unique curative effects in treating cerebral conditions, head acupuncture spread rapidly throughout the world, and in 1986 was awarded the A-class National Award for Major Scientific Research Achievements in Chinese Traditional Medicine by the Chinese government. As early as the 1980s, head acupuncture had become one of China's most commonly used methods in treating cerebral conditions. In order to help people in other countries relieve pain and cure such ailments, the World Health Organization recommended that head acupuncture be promoted throughout the world. I published "Head Acupuncture Therapy" and related essays in 1972. To promote the rapid development of head acupuncture, I summarized my clinical experience and the research findings of 38 years of study, and put all of that knowledge into this book's 11 chapters. I believe it will prove to be of great reference value in clinical practice, study and research alike.
