Product Description
There are many books about acupuncture points, but what is lacking are descriptions by expert practitioners of how they themselves actually go about selecting, finding, and using the points. This type of book would allow the reader to "peer over the shoulder" of the expert to find out what they really do in the clinic. Finding Effective Acupuncture Points does just that. Shudo Denmei, author of Japanese Classical Acupuncture: Introduction to Meridian Therapy, and a leader of the meridian therapy movement in Japan, has selected about 160 of his favorite points, the ones he actually uses in the clinic. Here he describes in specific detail how to use palpation to find each of the points on the body, and to determine whether or not they are "active." Then he identifies the particular conditions for which each point is best suited, rather than merely reciting a laundry list of all possible indications. With insightful stories about his own discovery and use of the points in a practice that has spanned nearly five decades, this master teacher brings each of the points to life for other acupuncturists. The book is organized by body region, which makes it especially convenient for finding appropriate points on particular parts of the body. There are also over 90 drawings which illustrate the locations of the points in relation to anatomical landmarks and other points and channels. This is a book that belongs in the pocket of every practitioner, where it will become a well-thumbed treasure. |

A must have for LAc's by Sure Lances Alot (so-cal)  5 Stars
October 03, 2009
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.

Finding Effective Acupuncture Points by G. DeFreitas (Long Island, NY) 5 Stars
March 08, 2007
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 book that indeed teaches with practical clues to locate the acupuncture points and to make a more conscientious treatment. by Daniel M. Netto (São Paulo, Brazil)  3 Stars
January 11, 2007
This book belongs to a great master of "Meridian Therapy", that it possesses one of the best books on this theme: "Introduction to Meridian Therapy" (this book is extraordinary and indispensable to all and any acupunturist, be him linked to the acupuncture Chinese, Japanese or western. However, to know more about location of points, with clues of practical existence in the touch in search of the necessary location of the acupuncture points, without a doubt "Finding Effective Acupuncture Points" is of great aid. This book will contribute in the choice of the points to they be treated as the diagnosis done according to the school of the therapy of the meridians. This book is of great aid not just in the treatment, but also in the diagnosis of the disturbances of the meridians.

Clinically useful by Michael Ellis 4 Stars
August 12, 2006
As precise as Deadman on point location, but also fleshed out with some clinical notes from the author's personal experience. A very useful little reference book.
