Book excerpt: Acupuncture practiced in China since time immemorial has in recent years become widely known the world over and acupuncture treatment is now obtainable outside China almost everywhere. The general experience gained from acupuncture treatment in recent years however, has often not been satisfactory, which has lead to the widespread, but incorrect view that acupuncture sometimes works, but often not and the misguided idea has spread that acupuncture is suitable only for the treatment of physical pains. There are of course reasons for these mistaken views. It is ignorance of the acupuncture rules, which are indispensable for successful treatment that causes failure. These rules were laid down in the Huang-ti Nei ching of the legendary Yellow Emperor (about 2700 BC). The book explains the secrets of these rules for successful acupuncture treatment which the author has researched and practiced for more than 50 years and demonstrates how to apply them.
