Fifty Years of Practice

Shudo Denmei is one of Japan’s leading teachers and authorities on meridian therapy. Over the last decades Shudo Denmei has collected 160 case studies that are representative of his practice of acupuncture and moxibustion and reflect the way his acupuncture practice has evolved.

Fifty Years of Practice is a book about The Case Studies of Shudo Denmei. He is intended as a guide for acupuncturists at various stages of their own practice. Dr Shudo shares his successes and failures, challenges and insights. It is a wide-ranging text, covering topics as diverse as psychology and the musculoskeletal system. He discloses the entire process of his treatments, from interview to palpation diagnosis to point selection and insertion technique.

Naturmed´s opinion: “The books of Shudo Denmei are extreme good in terms of experience and practical help. The new book will approve this again. TCM is a experience based art of healing. And we are happy that Dr. Shudo provides his knowledge.”

These case studies are arranged by disease category and cover virtually every type of condition that can be treated with acupuncture: Musculoskeletal, Circulatory, Digestive, Respiratory, Genitourinary, Gynaecological and others. Drawing on his deep knowledge of both Western and East Asian medicine, Dr Shudo discusses both the possibilities and limitations of acupuncture and moxibustion. He shares a wealth of knowledge and wisdom with his trademark humour and humanity. This is an inspiring, clinically-oriented memoir by a master practitioner with a lifelong passion for the art of healing.
