A substantial didactic reference on traditional acupuncture, this work presents acupuncture as a structured system of diagnosis, treatment, and clinical study. Written for readers seeking a serious introduction to traditional practice, it covers the theoretical foundations of meridians, points, and therapeutic principles, while also addressing the practical concerns involved in applying acupuncture techniques. The book functions as both a teaching manual and a reference volume, combining explanatory material with detailed information suited to students, practitioners, and researchers of traditional medicine. Its scope includes the organization of acupuncture points, their associations with bodily systems and therapeutic indications, and the broader conceptual framework that shapes traditional Chinese medical reasoning. With 584 pages, the volume offers an extensive treatment of the subject rather than a brief overview. It is best understood as a French-language professional or educational text on acupuncture, emphasizing traditional methods, clinical understanding, and the disciplined study of a complementary medical practice.
