"Advanced Acupuncture" is the definitive replacement to Royston Low's hard to come by, out of print book, "The Secondary Vessels of Acupuncture."It is well written and to the point, and easily referenced when in the clinic. It also has excellent diagrams of the channels that are clear and simple and accurate. Ann has managed to distill the essence of Jeffrey Yuen's teachings on the secondary vessels, and it really shines!This book is currently carried in the library of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York, and I recommend it to all of my students there who have an interest in the secondary vessels.
If you are an acupuncture student this is THE book to apply 8 Extras and Divergents in clinic. After many semesters of instructors at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine at New York making reverential references to "The Secondary Vessels of Acupuncture" by Royston Low, Ann's book is much more useful to me as a student intern. Low's book is a mere Haiku vs. Ann's Ancient Greek epic poem. Her explanations of Divergents removes the mystery and obscurity of other references. But it is Ann's presentation of the different trajectories of the 8-extras that makes the book so useful in student clinic. And until acupuncturist Nicholas Isabella III completes his work in progress on the Luos ([...]) Ann's book is the Go-To book for the Luos.I bought Ann's book before I inherited a hand-me-down copy of Low's "The Secondary Vessels of Acupuncture." Low's remains useful for its references to the French acupuncturists's views and for its discussions of energetics. Ann's book, on the other hand, should be by your side in clinic. Just make sure you put your name all over it. It is a much coveted book at my school.
This is the most accurate book of treatment strategies for students and practitioners of Classical Chinese Medicine. Every type of channels have references to Classics, so if one wants the theoretical knowledge in depth it is easy to find. Absolutely awesome drawings, which show all the pathways in great detail, even the Primary Channels. Using it every day!
The material in this book is from the tradition of Jeffrey Yuen; and gives complete instruction on the use of the secondary vessels of acupuncture -- the sinew, luo, divergent and 8 extraordinary channels . The term "secondary" is a misnomer, one that the author addresses in the book, because the word itself seems to imply that these channels are secondary in importance. However, as the author mentions in the book, nothing could be further from the truth. These channels are very important to the practice of acupuncture, yet do not get thoroughly addressed in acupuncture education. This book goes through each of these channel systems, and teaches how to diagnose and treat using each. The book is immensely practical and a necessary addition to the library of any acupuncturist. I've had the great opportunity to attend classes taught by the author on this material; and highly recommend this book.This book, I should add, is not for the layperson. It will not make much sense to you if you have no training as an acupuncturist. If you're an acupuncturist or a student in acupuncture school, you really need to get this book.
crazy expensive for a paperback but wow! as a current student of Classical Chinese medicine, we get very little, if any, guidance into anything other than the principal channels. This book was a god send to get through TCM boards. And just a great volume of knowledge in general. Very well laid out. A definite must for the acupuncturist/student's library!
This is a well written and accessible textbook on the use of the Secondary Vessels of Chinese Medicine. Cecil-Sterman presents a clear point of introduction to the clinical use of these often misunderstood and overlooked channels. Our teacher, Jeffrey C. Yuen, has spent a lifetime providing students and practitioners alike with an intellectual framework for understanding the theory and use of the Secondary Vessels. Cecil-Sherman has written an essential volume for Acupuncturists looking to gain a greater understanding of how apply this framework to their clinical practice.
Received the book yesterday. Start reading and could not put the book down. I am a beginner student at Maryland University of Integrative Health (same school that the author is a professor-never met her). This book is amazing. It has everything I am looking for (that I could not find in other books and I read a lot of books) from needling techniques, detail descriptions of each complement channel (Sinew, Luo, Divergent and Eight extraordinary Channels) to Channels treatments, combination points treatments. The illustrations of each primary channel and its deep pathway are amazingly clear and beautiful (thank you Ms. Pat Didner). The paintings of Luo Channels you could not find anywhere else. And Frequently Ask Questions, wow, all the questions that bubbling in my mind are right in front of my eyes. The usage of each points are simply described to the most easiest way to understand.BTW, this is my review of one sleepless night of reading this amazing book(most of the books helped me to go to sleep, this book kept me awake all night long). I will tell you more when I finish with every single page of this amazing book. Worth every penny (and more) of the most expensive book in Acupuncture that I bought up until now, Ouch!
