Acupuncture Desk Reference, 2nd edition (2011) has been completely updated. ADR1 is a collection of information assembled to help practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine become highly effective in treatment and successful in practice. Extremely popular with acupuncturists, herbalists, and student practitioners, this 496-page clinic reference book is essential for all acupuncturists. It provides more than 315 Chinese formulas, 370 herbs, Zang Fu, acupuncture points, special categories, clinical indications, methods, practice, and food as medicine for the most common ailments. One third of this book is devoted to Western Medicine, which allows the user to check for drugs, labs, herbal interactions, botanicals, nutrients and supplements. A resource section provides the most up-to-date information for your everyday clinical practice, including insurance providers, suppliers and general health forms for your practice.
In practice, a TCM practitioner already knows the information, but needs a comprehensive but concise reference to refresh his/her memory. Acupuncturists are expected to have clinical knowledge and skills across many fields, and Acupuncture Desk Reference provides the essentials for clinical practice. As a pocket reference, its size makes it streamlined and durable. It fits in the palm of your hand or lab coat and is easy to navigate in a clinical setting.
