llustrated Chinese Moxibustion - Techniques and Methods is 'very
Chinese' - personal shorthand for a mix of positive attributes
blended with the cultural idiosyncrasies and artefacts of the
translation process that we have come to know and love... This is
neat and, as with many of the numerous other interesting clinical
tips to be found here, is obviously born out of practical
experience... All in all, this book succeeds in delivering a
comprehensive and enlightening Chinese-style presentation on the
practice of moxibustion. This book succeeds in delivering a
comprehensive and enlightening Chinese-style presentation on the
practice of moxibustion... Overall, as a student text or for one
wishing to develop high-level clinical moxa skills I warmly
recommend this book.

In my opinion, Illustrated Chinese Moxibustion is an excellent
reference book for anyone practising moxibustion, and an ideal read
for all those interested in this type of treatment. It is based on
sound ancient TCM principles, but written by modern
practitioner.
