This book by Bernard De Wurstemberger and Marc Petitpierre describes some forty dermatological diseases likely to respond to acupuncture treatment: a theoretical presentation precedes the detailed description of each condition in the form of synoptic tables describing the different syndromes which characterize it, the etiopathogenesis, symptoms, pulses, state of the tongue, principles of treatment and a choice of points as well as an adapted prescription of pharmacopoeia.
