Ear, nose and throat conditions hold a prominent place in Traditional Chinese Medicine: acupuncture often proves highly effective in disorders of the upper airways, particularly in chronic or recurrent cases.

A theoretical introduction precedes the detailed description of each condition in the form of synoptic tables covering the various syndromes involved, the aetio-pathogenesis, symptoms, pulses, tongue state, treatment principles, a selection of acupuncture points and a Chinese pharmacopoeia prescription.

This book offers a comprehensive approach to ENT and brings together the main conditions that respond to acupuncture treatment. It should be kept in mind that acupuncture is a complementary therapy: the treatments proposed here must not, on their own, take the place that must — when required — go first to Western medicine.
