Thorsten provides an introduction to the basics of traditional Chinese medicine and shows how this approach is used in medical practice. The publication combines classical Chinese sources, years of experience in the application of the method in Western clinics, and modern scientific works on the subject.

The focus is on Chinese acupuncture as a therapeutic direction and part of traditional Chinese medicine. The book discusses fundamental theoretical foundations, including concepts of yin and yang, principles of working with acupuncture points, and approaches to treatment using acupuncture.
