Tung's acupuncture book recommendations

Tung's acupuncture has increased in popularity tremendously from where it was 10-20 years ago. While before it was unknown and more mysterious. The main person responsible for introducing Tung's acupuncture to the West was Dr. Young, Wei Chieh. Dr. Young was a disciple directly under Master Tung who moved to the US and began to teach his style. Keep in mind there are other disciples of Master Tung who have remained in Taiwan and have also elaborated on the Tung's system and have their own books and resources. A lot of how it is understood in the West comes from Dr. Young. Today, some of the more popular Tung's practitioners who have written books and have material available to easily learn from are, Susan Johnson, Dr. Henry McCann, Dr. Brad Whisnant, Dr. Robert Chu, and many others.

Today there are several resources that you can go to to learn tung's acupuncture. From books to webinars, and lectures around the country. More people are sharing their knowledge than ever before.

Tung's acupuncture is a family system of distal acupuncture that revolves around understanding the channel system of Chinese medicine. Personally, I think it is good to delve deeper into understanding Tung's acupuncture because even if you never use "Tung's" points it opens up different ways to analyze channels and their relationships with one another. While most people look at Tung's as a completely different system, this is not the case. There are several points in Tung's acupuncture that overlap with the regular points, as well as using regular points along with Tung's points.

While an easy way and a very common way to begin using the points is applying them as "extra points" along with your regular treatments. The system in itself is complete and can be applied as its own therapeutic method, using the Tung's idea of acupuncture point application as your base theory.

The following list of Tung's book are books that I enjoy and recommend for anybody who wants to learn more about Tung's acupuncture.
