In a set of books which will be published over several years you will find a mine of information on the world of acupuncture. Through the experience and the thoughts of a man who has devoted all his life to acupuncture. A medical doctor who thinks, examines, digests this technique. A practitioner who questions himself constantly, who searches for an adequeasy between the theory, what he believes in and what he does in practice. 

In this third volume the author embarks on a journey of thoughts based on his experience, his practice, his readings and his knowledge. Expressing doubts about the identity between Chinese medicine theory and acupuncture theory, he builds and proposes an easy treatment method for functional disorders which, although based on some concepts of the Chinese medical system, avoids the complexity of the structure while retaining useful information from the patient. The collection of symptoms allows him to target function entities for which he sets up simple tables of suggested points. Leaving the process of Chinese diagnosis through the Eight Principles and the phrasing of patterns and subsequent treatment using individual drugs or specific medicinal prescriptions, he confines the action of acupuncture to its sphere of indications and bases his moves not only on logic but also on what he has witnessed all around the world and, most important, on what he practices himself.

As usual he intersperses his ideas with anecdotes and memories, stories and critics, explanations and personal experience, making his text easy to read and the book simple to consult.

A whole which cannot leave you indifferent
