Kompleksia Medicino kaj Saam Akupunkturo

(Czech Republic Kava-Pech, March 2003)

 

 

Comprehensive resource guide for Korean Saam Acupuncture and Sasang Constitutional Medicine. This book is aimed to introduce Korean medicine to doctors who practice Chinese medicine for clinical use or professional acupuncturist. The first edition was written in international language, Esperanto, to be easily translated into other languages.  This book is also available in German, Czech and English (under publishing). Croatian and Russian version is now in translation.
 

"This book will show not only the differences between Chinese medicine inherited from ancient China and the traditional Korean medicine which specifically evolved in Korea, but also how the Korean medicine criticizes and applies various ancient Chinese theories.  To my knowledge, this is the first book about the unique Korean medicine, and I believe that it may instigate a drastic change in the reader's knowledge of modern Asian medical theory and acupuncture, an alternative to the much better known Chinese model.

This book is aimed primarily at acupuncturists and doctors who already use acupuncture therapy. In spite of that, I planned to write the book not as a dry specialist text, but as an introduction to the Korean medicine.  I have tried to write it in a simple style, based on my practical lectures, so that even novices without any fundamental knowledge of the theory of Chinese medicine can easily understand it.  Those who wish to pursue the topic more profoundly after reading this book will be able to read more serious specialist books that I intend to continue to write.
