Every acupuncturist should buy this book. It covers all aspects of sleep. I have found standard TCM to be a bit slower than I would like, and I appreciate his unique contributions on the extraordinary vessels and other points I would not normally consider.There is even info on snoring and sleep apnea, which he has treated successfully. It is not always just "phlegm" as we have been taught. He explains which points to use to restore normal circulation in the throat.
This book is brilliant and has supported my specialty in sleep problems.It takes some studying to understand the principles but it beautifully puts together TCM patterns, wei qi mechanisms and the extraordinary vessels, as they relate to sleep.
Wow. what a great resource. Very detailed. Seems to leave little if any stone unturned. This is an immense subject too. Very artfully done.
Its OK, very useful fol clinical use.It has helped me to better understand sleep and dreams into chinese medicine.
