All those won over by Nora Franglen's Les gardiens de l'âme and eager to put the theory into practice will find in the Manuel d'acupuncture des cinq éléments the indispensable companion to the first work.

After a brief reminder of each element's characteristics, the author unveils the secrets of diagnosis by the Five Elements, the favoured points, the possible combinations, needling techniques and more. Numerous examples nourish reflection and stimulate practice.

The practitioner–patient relationship is also addressed, as are seasonal treatments intended both for curative and preventive purposes. This book comes with a clear and effective self-teaching and self-assessment manual to help those not yet familiar with this specific branch of acupuncture.
