Beginning with needle selection, needle preparation, preparation of the patient, and a variety of needling techniques, this clinical text progresses to detailed discussions of moxibustion and a systematic approach to treatment planning. There are concise and accessible tables of ear points and ear acupuncture prescriptions, and discussions of diagnosis and the practical application of Chinese medical theories. The treatments presented cover 126 specific conditions ranging from simple, easily-cured conditions to complex, life-threatening states. Each treatment contains a brief statement of cause, a description of the symptoms and a differentiation of the presenting symptoms according to severity, location, or pathology,  with a step-by-step treatment plan that considers point selection, order, technique, and observations to be made during treatment.
