five elements and ten stems
just starting to read en learn more about this theory.

A modern classic
This is a great book for people who want to know more about 5 phase acupuncture.I have owned this book for about 3 years, and have gone back to it over and over.Each time I pick it up, I find something new.While some "cookie-cutter" approaches to 5 phase styles are presented, there is also enough theoretical meat to keep the reader interested.Great book to have in your collection!

OK, I'd rather not buy.
I was very disappointed by Extraordinary Vessels, butRead more

A wonderful wealth of wisdom!
I was not very familiar with aromatherapy when I first read this book. Then, as I did more research, I realized that this power-packed volume contains everything that either a novice or experienced aromatherapist needs to know. From how aromatherapy works to how essentials oils are extracted, from safety and toxicity to a complete Materia Medica -- it's all here, and more! Ericksen clearly knows of what she speaks. She wisely guides the reader through the use and storage of essential oils, covering nearly every application, including aromatherapy for children, the frail or elderly, common ailments, and women's needs. There are countless recipes, a glossary, and a list of resources. You will come away from this book feeling that you know what you are doing and are ready to treat your (or your friends' and loved ones') specific conditions with confidence. Although not a big book, it is encyclopedic in its scope of information. Healing With Aromoatherapy is not a book to collect dust on your shelf -- you'll use it and refer to it endlessly. ...

If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ...
If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ... it probably has a lot of quack in it.Worsley and his entire legacy have given us a distorted view on TCM.A white man's view to be totally honest, right down to hugely over analysing a construct which he clearly did not understand, he couldn't have understood.If you want to waste your time with guesses and questionable lineage, go to J.R.If you want to get the truth, get the 15$ Chinese books with something valid to say.

Good Reference
J.R. Worsley presents an excellent reference for acupuncture students, clinicians, and enthusiasts everywhere.Very clearly presented and well illustrated. ... Read more

Zone Therapy or Relieving Pain at Home
This book is quite informative. It is very quick to go over examples of trials done, but hard to follow the exact technique for Zone Therapy.I have enjoyed the book and picked up quite a bit of information from it. ... Read more

!
Excellent book for acupuncturists. It lost one star because they use color coding for some of the diagrams and the diagrams are in black and white! Their Atlas has all the diagrams in color and is also a great book.

Remember Who It's For
I was very unhappy with the last review. As an Acupuncturist with years of training this is THE text for Auricular Therapy. This text is not intended for use by the lay-person. Being a nurse in Western Medicine does NOT qualify one to practice acupuncture. If you are a practitioner or student looking for a great source this is a wonderful text.

Auricular Therapy: A Comprehensive Text
As a nurse, let alone as a lay person, this book is so technical and full of very poorly unlabled picture diagrams including the fact that all the color coded shaded picture diagrams are printed in black and white, makes it impossible to relate to the reading/studying of this book. Even when used with the Auricular Therapy Reflex Chart it is very difficult to comprehend. I have studied many medical books in my career and this was one of the poorest I have ever dealt with.I was exteremly disappointed in this book and would not recommend it! ... Read more

Traditional Japanese Acupuncture
This is a great book for those who use Meridian therapy in thier clinic, this can be seen from some of the authors of this book Ikeda Masakazu and Shudo Denmei. The fact it uses the term traditional in the title simply indicates that the sources for this book/Meridian therapy are from the classical texts of Chinese traditional medicine such as Su Wen and Ling Shu. This reflects the common use of the word traditional in the names of many of the Japanese acupuncture societies in Japan. The book fills in many of the gaps that Shodu's book did not, remembering that Meridian therapy was first introduced to those who had no knowlege of TCM, this is not the case today with many acupuncturist's having a grounding in modern TCM.

Not actually traditional japanese Medicine
This book is titled TRADITIONAL Japanese Acupuncture. Unfortunatelty it is not really that at all though it may contain elements of some traditional Japanese styles. It seems that the esteemed authors have made an attempt to fuse Chinese TCM with elements of Japanese Meridian Therapy and have come up with something that to many Meridian Therapy practitioners (myself included)seems unrecognizable as TRADITIONAL anything. I do not mean to criticize the authors theories or his approach but to call this traditional Japanese acupncture in any sense seems a bit of an inaccurate statement.

Disappointing

Disappointed
I am an acupuncturist, and being new to and excited about glyconutrients, I was intrigued by the title of this book. Unfortunately, the lack of information in these pages is disappointing. For example, the use of acupressure with each condition given in the book is guided only by inadequate diagrams with no written explanation for accurate location of points. If this was intended to be used by professionals, I would expect at least the actual mention of the acupoints intended to be used with acupressure along with more detailed diagrams. Further, the use of the glyconutrients and other Mannatech products is an obvious marketing tool for Mannatech associates, since this book does not even mention the use of any other viable products for the conditions listed. Yes, I know that Mannatech has the patents on the combination of the 8 essential glyconutrients every body needs, but there are other wonderful (and less expensive) sources for vitamins and the other plant-derived nutrients recommended to be used with the glyconutrients in the treatment protocols. Also, the authors' recommended use of these nutrients varies little between conditions. That is a red flag for me, as I know every patient's treatment needs varies dramatically depending on the patient's age, stage of the condition, environmental stressors, etc.
Wonderful guide for users of Mannatech
This is a very informitive book and a very helpful guide to using proper amounts of Ambrotose and other glyconutrients.I would recomend it to everyone intrested in their health. ... Read more
