  • CT Holman, Practitioner, International Teacher, and author of forthcoming book 'Treating Emotional Trauma in Classical Chinese Medicine'

    The Fundamentals of Acupuncture guides the reader on a journey from a broad perspective to the innermost workings of the medicine applicable for the seasoned practitioner and the layperson. Nigel illuminates the connections between the organs, channels, and acupuncture points. His book will definitely be added to the handful of A-list reference books to reach for in my Classical Chinese medicine clinic.

    This is an excellent introduction to acupuncture that stands in its own right. While it is most obviously of use to acupuncture students, it's also an excellent summing up of the basics for experienced practitioners. I can see some of my more interested patients finding the explanations fascinating too.
