The Acupuncture Points Functions Colouring Book

I rarely post reviews but was extremely excited to receive this coloring book. Memorizing from Deadman's or CAM can be exhausting for any grad student attending a Traditional Chinese Medicine school. This book helps me take mental breaks and lock in the more commonly used points. I brought it to school with me and tons of classmates wanted the book, it's important to support the author and buy this book instead of making photo copies for friends. I tend to use Japanese fine tip pens to color in like juicy or maica but I assume one could use any of the pens folks use for adult coloring books.

Very nice for visual learning. Great for having additional ways to tie it all together.

Great book this helps me cement in the things I have learned in Deadman. I love to color and recite what the point does. I recommend this book to all acupuncture students that don't learn from memory alone. Pictures help get this in the brain.

I’m an acupuncture student and got this book to assist me in learning the actions and indications of the points. I like taking time to color and think about the point information. In general Deadman is the bible for most schools when it comes to actions/indications/point location and was first published in 1998. I don’t know where the authors are pulling their information from but it doesn’t line up with Deadman. There is alot to memorize in school and this book could be confusing for a first year student, which defeats the purpose. They should mention what book they are using or update this coloring book so it’s more relevant to what’s being taught.

Still trying to figure it out

I'm definitely a visual learner so being able to take a break from Deadman or the other hefty textbooks really helps! The pictures also make points easier to remember. Will be colouring this as soon as I get some spare time.

If you are a visual learner and actually take the time to color this thing, it will help you remember things better.

I bought it thinking it would be a nice way to review point functions but their functions are kind of nonstandard. There is not really much to color in this "coloring book" because there isn't much space between the lines. It's kind of convoluted in it's approach.

Perfect for my dyslexic mind .I would recomned it highly .

Es un libro muy útil para trabajar en la memorización de los puntos importantes de cada meridiano de la Acupuntura. Un libro muy ingenioso y divertido.

The book is cute, but quite honestly it is not a great study guide/aid, at least in my opinion. It tries to make up mnemonic rules to help you remember paths and functions, and explains these at far too great a length... The colouring part is absolutely secondary and is just more decorative than functional or even helpful... If I want to relax by colouring, I'll do Mandalas or something like that.I would not recommend this book to any TCM student, far better to just get blank body models and draw the meridians, at the end of the day you will end up knowing what you need in your daily practice and will not need the supposed mnemonics proposed in this book, as you can always access your notes or even watch videos online that give more detailed explanations of meridians and their functions.

great tool and arrived in good timing

I would recommend this book for all those people who are studying acupuncture and want to have a clever instrument to summarise main TCM pathways.
