Author Description

"Dr Young Wei Chieh brings students and practitioners a highly useful and clinically insightful text dealing with the five transport points, the special acupoints found on each of the twelve channels distal to the elbows or knees. Known as the jing-well points, ying-spring points, shu-stream points, jing-river points, and he-sea points, these five types of points all have special characteristics related to the five phases, and thus they are sometimes called the five phases points. The ancients used analogies of these points to describe the movement and strength of qi and blood, and thus each of the points has a unique function."--Publisher's website
