Description and Table of Contents
Description
The goal of this software is to provide an introduction to some of the fundamental concepts underlying tsubo therapy. Most traditional systems recognize a large number of tsubo points (spots on or just beneath the surface of the skin), the majority of which are categorized by location along pathways known as meridians. This program includes the locations and characteristics of 410 tsubo. It features 91 different medical conditions that can be treated with the tsubo technique.
Table of Contents
This CD is aimed at beginners to advanced users of the tsubo techniques. It also covers acupuncture and moxibustion. It has a clear, user-friendly layout with excellent graphics. There are explanations of how to locate each tsubo point, which meridian it can be found on, yin-yang descriptions, prevention measures to be taken and the conditions that are related to the point. It includes Chinese and Japanese pronunciation audio. Tsubo covers the 410 acupuncture points organized according to the 14 meridians. Each entry gives the standardized name of the point in its three elements: alphanumeric code derived from the English meridian name, and by the WHO Standard Code, the Chinese phonetic alphabet (Pinyin) name, and the Japanese (Kanji) character. The Tsubo Encyclopedia can be used as an aid for those studying acupuncture, acupressure and shiatsu.
