This atlas is a new kind of manual. It illustrates the whole range of acupuncture points and main channels, the Extraordinary Vessels Ren Mai and Du Mai, and the Extraordinary Points in a systematic and clear way. Each of the 409 important points is clarified through a series of three different illustrations: a graphic indicates location on the body; an overview of channels illustrates the point in the context of its pathway; a photograph shows the acupuncture needle in position.
