Knowing where a point is and understanding what it does are two distinct things. Lectures on Tung’s Acupuncture: Points Study bridges that gap — going beyond location to explore the mechanisms, characteristics and clinical logic behind each of Master Tung’s extraordinary points.
Building on Dr Wei-Chieh Young’s earlier works, this volume provides a deeper and more systematic study of the point system itself. Organised by body area and illustrated throughout, it adheres closely to Master Tung’s original teachings while drawing on Dr Young’s decades of clinical experience — making it the most thorough English-language reference on Tung’s points available.
