Excellent!

perfect

Scholarly and perhaps repetitive...Was looking for a more practical clinical treatise on the Eight Vessels.Glad to have it in my library but will continue my search for practical applicationof this subject.....

This book is a fundamental in trying to make sense of the extraordinary vessels. Even if in your own practice you only work with the master-couple points (something that Li Shi Zhen didn't mention) you'll find here many clinical pearls that will enhance the clinical understanding.The book itself is layed out in a very elegant and honest manner, in the first part placing side by side the chinese and the english version of what Li Shi Zhen wrote, and the second part the interpretation of those thoughts by Chace and Shima. The fact that you can clearly identify orginal on the one hand and interpretation on the other it's a great relieve since many authors tend to place their own interpretations interwined with the original text and never have the decency of telling what they were doing. Chace and Shima are extremly clear about what is what. And of course, being both of them such great clinicians, the interpretations have many, many clinical pearls.I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book! Shima and Chace present a clear and concise translation of pathways, symptoms and treatment strategies of the Extraordinary Vessels.The translation of Li Shi-Zhen's exposition is very applicable to acupuncture and herbal practice.Using the pulse and abdomen as diagnostic tools for EV acupuncture helps give immediate feedback during the treatment.Specific and clear use of herbal medicine with the Extraordinary Vessels.The clinical results are effective.Highly recommend this book.
