Traditional Japanese Acupuncture Fundamentals of Meridian Therapy – Koei Kuwahara

Meridian Therapy is a system of clinical acupuncture utilized in Japan and rooted not only in the acupuncture classics (the Su Wen, Ling Shu, and Nan Jing) but also in the modern clinical experience of highly successful Japanese clinicians. It is a very sophisticated modality that offers Western students, practitioners, and their patients a practical way of choosing and applying treatment in the light of clinical reality. The authors, who are among Japan’s foremost teachers and clinicians, have compiled a work that provides a broad, accurate, and detailed foundation for students learning acupuncture or for clinicians who wish to improve their clinical results. This is an important and pivotal contribution to the acculturation of classical acupuncture in the West.Contents include: the development of Meridian Therapy in light of the historical circumstances of acupuncture in Japan; an introduction to the basics–Yin and Yang, Five Phases, Ki, Blood, Fluids, deficiency, and excess; an overview of the meridians and acupuncture points, with detailed channel-by-channel descriptions; and much more.

In 1990, on the 50th anniversary of the Society of Traditional Japanese Medicine, the members of the editorial committee embarked on this book project that was completed over a ten-year period. Among the illustrious contributors, all of them distinguished scholars and practitioners of Meridian Therapy, are: Okabe Somei, M.D., Aizawa Ryo, Higuchi Hideyoshi, Okada Akizo, and Ikeda Masakazu.
