First referenced in the Ling Shu and the Su Wen, the Luo Collaterals or Luo Mai, are an integral part of the acupuncture channel system. In this book, Dr. David Twicken provides a comprehensive account of the Luo Mai, including detailed analyses of the classical and contemporary theories and clinical applications. Modern practitioners often use the Luo Collaterals to treat the emotions and the organs, with treatments influencing the blood network, especially the veins and capillaries, along the Luo pathways. Dr. Twicken presents a thorough historical analysis of the new theories on which our modern understanding of the Luo Collaterals and Luo points is based, and explains the applications. He explores the classical Chinese medical and Taoist interpretation of the Shen, the five Shen and the emotions and provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the Window of the Sky points. Dr. Twicken also includes instruction on Healing Sounds Qigong, one of the oldest and most effective forms used to treat the emotions, the internal organs and the five Shen. An accessible and authoritative guide to the Luo Collaterals, this book will be of immense value to students and practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Taiji and Qigong practitioners; and anyone with an interest in Taoist practice.

THE PRINCIPLES OF YI LEARNING OF CHINESE MEDICINE

Author: LUO YU
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631816241
Category : Medical
Languages : zh-CN
Pages : 138

Book Description
The author regards that understanding Chinese medicine and solving the controversial theoretical issues in Chinese medicine should be from its basic theory, the philosophy of Taiji science, by which some fundamental problems of Chinese medicine can be explained and clarified thoroughly. The author corrects the mistakes of naming and sorting the six meridians and collaterals in The Inner Canon of Huangdi and The Treatise on Febrile Diseases in the past thousands of years and puts forward new naming and sorting methods. He introduces the concept of "Qian Kun" (the heaven and earth) into the human body and identifies the pathogenesis of the Sanyang and Sanyin meridians and collaterals in The Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The author puts forward the theory of the same origin of Yin and Yang and of "an original Yang". He points out that the so-called Yin and Yang viscera are actually the ups and downs of "an original Yang". He criticizes the laying emphasis on Yin and neglecting Yang and reversing the order of Yin and Yang in traditional Chinese medicine theory and practice. He parallels the six meridians and collaterals and puts forward a new pulse hypothesis. He uses cosmology to understand the body science of Chinese medicine, which is unprecedented in the history of medicine and philosophy and, unique and insightful to read.
