Purchase options and add-ons

One of the most highly-regarded and respected authors and lecturers in the West, Giovanni Maciocia, illuminates and examines the art of traditional Chinese acupuncture with this in-depth look at the secondary channels and other key structures encompassing the human body in Chinese anatomy. This book describes in detail the pathways, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of the Luo, Muscle, and Divergent secondary channels, as well as other key structures such as the Cou Li and Huang membranes, and gives a thorough, clear overview of subjects poorly understood and incompletely covered in other English language texts. Over one third of the book is dedicated to the Eight Extraordinary Channels, providing the reader with the most in-depth information available in the English language. Drawing on his broad clinical experience, the author covers the energetic physiology, pathology and points by body area, providing ease of access for both the student and practitioner of acupuncture. The Channels of Acupuncture presents comprehensive and clear information on an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine.
  • Covers key channels not thoroughly discussed in other texts, giving all students and practitioners detailed and clear material to guide them in their practice of acupuncture.
  • Offers new information and insight on other key body structures in Chinese medicine including extraordinary vessels as well as the Cou Li and Huang membranes.
  • Clear illustrations depict the exact channel pathways, diminishing any confusion about their location.
  • Case histories and research from Giovanni Maciocia present a wide range of experiences and examples of clinical practice and study.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Aided by numerous attractive illustrations and many quotations, it covers virtually every aspect of channel history, theory, pathways and clinical uses, not just of the primary channels of course, but also of the membranes and fat tissue, the triple burner, the connecting, muscle, divergent channels and the cutaneous regions.

This is yet another extraordinary comprehensive book from Giovanni Maciocia.

Journal of Chinese Medicine / Number 83 / February 2007

Damaged Book
1 out of 5 stars
Damaged Book
I received a damaged book, several marks and scratches on the cover, also a big dent. I tried to replace this but there is just a return option. My classes will start soon and I can't wait for the time asked to receive my money back and buy another one. So I am forced to keep a damaged book. Very disappointed. If you pay $100.00 in a brand new hardcover book it is because you want a brand new one. Otherwise, I could save money and buy a used one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic info not found in many good acupuncture books
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The book has answered a question that I have searched for years to get answer to in the field of acupuncture. I pondered two or three times about purchasing this amazing book. Mainly because of the cost. But it’s worth every penny. It brings so many aspects of acupuncture theory together in such a really clarified way. His explanations are really down to earth, no high faulting way of writing.
    After I came across the knowledge found in Giovanni Maciocia‘s books and on line. I found that It is so advanced and but so easy to read. My previous purchase of Giovanni‘s books was ˋClinical Pearlś. And that is also a real Pearl of knowledge. Giovanni I believe is now deceased. But if I am right he left a wealth of valuable information for the benefit of learners and more advanced acupuncturists.

    Como todos los libros de Maciocia, muy bien elaborado y estructurado.
    La pena es que solo está en inglés. Pero si no tienes problemas en la lectura, comprátelo.
