This, the second volume in the "Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series", is solely concerned with the application of Master Tung’s Acupuncture in obstetrics and gynecology. It is entitled ‘Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture’ because it, like the first in this series, implies that the user has already had a course in Master Tung’s Acupuncture (e.g., that presented by Drs. Wei-Chieh Young, Palden Carson, Robert Chu, Esther Su, Richard Tan, Miriam Lee, Susan Johnson, etc.). This text is not intended for use by the novice, but rather as a reference by those who already have a working knowledge of Master Tung’s Acupuncture.

This text presents 522 pages of over 400 prescriptions culled from the Chinese language Tung Acupuncture literature in my personal library – more than 15 different sources were referenced (several currently out of print). From these Chinese language sources, I have compiled, collated, and translated all the OB/GYN prescriptions proffered by the ‘experts’ and applied accompanying diagrams for each disorder/disease to facilitate their application. Included are author-specific point locations, needling instructions, contraindications and, when available, clinical comments, herbal suggestions, lifestyle modifications, etc. all derived from the author(s) own personal clinical experiences with Master Tung’s Acupuncture.

What this book is not:

This text is NOT an introductory text in the acupuncture of Master Tung Ching-Chang! Nor is it a primer on the TCM theories governing obstetrics and gynecology – there are an ample number of texts on the market concerning both these topics.
