Korean Constitutional Acupuncture - Theory and Clinical Application of the Hwa and Taegeuk Five Elemental Methods

Résumé du livre

The Hwa and Taegeuk Five Element acupuncture techniques are among the most commonly practiced constitutionally-based methods in modern day Korea. These simple and effective methods incorporate Five Elemental Theory to address a myriad of physiological and psychological issues. The Hwa Acupuncture method emphasizes the use of pulse examination, and the Taegeuk method, the insertion of needles to determine the patient's constitution. Treatment according to these methods is primarily focused on balancing constitutionally excessive and deficient organ systems while simultaneously addressing the patients direct concerns.
