Review Quotes

"If you're an acupuncturist--you NEED to have this book available for your patients. I cannot count the number of times through the years that patients have asked for a simple guide to acupuncture and Chinese medicine so they could understand the treatment process better. Twelve years later--the answer is here! This book covers all the basics and gives patients everything they need to be even bigger participants in their own healing processes. It's a gem and I'm so glad we finally have it!"--Caitlin Donovan

"The terminology and theory surrounding acupuncture can often be confusing and this book does a great job of explaining how acupuncture works, what to expect from appointments, and what conditions can be treated. It is a very quick read, yet perfect to have as a reference if you have questions later on. As someone who practices veterinary acupuncture, I am always looking for resources for my clients so that they can better understand what I am treating in their pets."--Katie Smith
