A Personal Acupuncture Handbook

As a second year acupuncture student at Yo San University, I was feeling overwhelmed studying and memorizing the vast amounts of information that make up the acupuncture curriculum. With each acupuncture class I took, it became harder and harder to integrate and organize all my classroom notes into a single resource. I would constantly be flipping through pages of old notebooks to find the relevant information I was looking for. My desire for such a single resource went unsatisfied until I created this book.
My goal was to have a “Master Notebook” that I could bring to class that would contain all the classical information about each point, as well as serve as a lasting notebook to record the notes from my acupuncture classes.
