  Waterstones Clinical Handbook of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture

  Price: £30.00

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: This handbook is an invaluable resource on the principles and practice of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA). This popular form of scalp acupuncture is used to treat a wealth of neurological conditions, and is very effective in stroke patients with pain and restricted mobility, providing relief from the symptoms. David Bomzon is an international expert on YNSA and he includes step-by-step explanations of points, points location, indications for needling, and clinical cases, all supported by line drawings and photographs. Uniquely, this book is written by an acupuncturist for acupuncturists, chiropractors and physical therapists, and the author clearly reconciles the theoretical needling points described by Yamamoto with actual needling points. Basic, sensory, brain, Y (epsilon) and cranial points are all covered, as well as instructions on applying YNSA in the clinic. The handbook also explains the benefits of combining YNSA treatment with Western medicine and physical therapy, making this essential reading for all practitioners looking to expand their knowledge of scalp acupuncture.

  Waterstones The Simple Guide to Five Element Acupuncture

  Price: £7.99

  Brand: Waterstones

   

  Description

  Description: Nora Franglen's straightforward, accessible guide introduces this ancient Chinese system of medicine. She briefly covers its history and explores the philosophy behind it, explaining how it can benefit the reader personally by addressing specific health needs and general well-being. Five element acupuncture treats the whole person by accessing the natural energy channels each of us possess and correcting the imbalances between our five elements to restore both physical and mental wellbeing. With case studies of patients throughout, the guide provides immediate insight into how an acupuncturist diagnoses and treats patients, looking at the importance of each of the five elements in turn, and how they relate to each other. This deceptively simple guide will help anyone interested in learning about the benefits and traditions of five element acupuncture, five element theory or Chinese medicine in general. It will be of particular interest to students as well as a great resource for practitioners to recommend to patients.
