ABOUT THE BOOK
This book details the ingenious use of only five major acupuncture points to effectively treat a wide variety of ills. Written by one of the most experienced and well-known acupuncturists in California, this book is a must read for students and practitioners alike. It is written in a deceptively simple, unpretentious style characteristic of its author, but readers should not be deceived. The theory it contains is profound, stemming from the Four Great Masters of the Jin-Yuan dynasties.
"This is not a heavy textbook but a thoughtful review of some fundamental theories with Miriam Lee's description and explanation of her own Great formula. An engaging book for an afternoon read."

"Every acupuncturist should learn a little about Miriam Lee's (arguably the most notable acupuncturist in US history) approach, and this book can be read in one sitting. It is somewhat different to what you would learn from any standard TCM text (i.e Peter Deadman)and is a fascinating reminder as to the diversity of acupuncture techniques. It is especially valuable for those who use primarily acupuncture rather than herbal medicine. Miriam Lee practised using what some refer to as the "Taiwanese" or meridian theory, as opposed to the more standard version of acupuncture used in TCM hospitals throughout China (which some say is more drawn from herbal medicine theory). Anyone who has practised in China and found the domination of herbal medicines frustrating will be very inspired by Miriam Lee. "

"A must read for all acupuncturists. Set against a background of Miriam's
experiences as the person who brought acupuncture to the U.S, the book
is really about how an acupuncture "formula" or combination can be used
for many, many conditions by changes in how it is applied. This book is
one that changed the way I understand acupuncture and I thank Miriam for
sharing her knowledge in such a simple and powerful way.

"I love this book because it is small but has so much in it. I know I will read it countless times to make sure that I have absorbed every detail. It will definitely be helpful in my future practice."

"Very limited in the numbers of points used. There is no conceptual or methodical explanation for the points selected. Very interesting that she uses the same treatments for multiple ailments. I have no regrets in reading and purchasing this material. But then again, I read everything on acupuncture that I can get a hold of. It shall remain in my acupuncture library."
