Book: Illustrations of the Complete Acupuncture Systems

Description

Created in response to numerous requests, this publication brings together the detailed channel drawings featured in Ann Cecil-Sterman’s Advanced Acupuncture, A Clinic Manual in a convenient, easy-to-reference format.

Drawing on years of intensive study with Dr Jeffrey Yuen, Cecil-Sterman presents unique protocols for the Complement Channels, including the Sinew, Luo, Divergent and Eight Extra Channels. The illustrations map the complete channel system, showing points, branches and trajectories with a level of detail designed to support accuracy and confidence in clinical practice.

The volume also includes an abbreviated point-location reference section for quick consultation. Beyond simply reproducing the original illustrations, the drawings reveal channel information that was previously unavailable in print. The Sinew Channels are depicted at their actual width across the body, illustrating their overlapping coverage, while the Luo, Divergent and Eight Extra Channels are shown with their full points, branches and trajectories. The third branch of the Kidney Primary Channel is also included.

An essential visual reference for practitioners studying and working with the channel systems, this book makes complex channel information accessible at a glance.
