Preface This short introduction to acupuncture is intended to awaken interest and to encourage further study. It will be readily appreciated by the readers that the whole subject covering this Oriental medicine cannot be delt with in only a few pages. In this regard we are not yet scientifically or perhaps mentally sufficiently prepared in spite of the many publications. We haoe written this brief work for two reasons: first, because as already stated, we wish to promote the general interest in acupuncture, and second, because we believe that our modern medicinemen should also have opportunity to know other methods of treatment. Undoubtedly, it is very uncomfortable to tear oneself away from the accustomed trains of thought, but this intellectual discomfort can prove profitable and is necessary in the development of science and its utilisation for the benefit of the society at large. It grants a new spell of health and helps the advancement of knowledge. Finally, may this publication also correct those misconceptions which developed through many sensational reports. Acupuncture is neither a "cure-all" nor a historical curiosity. It is a possibility among other possibilities to aid the sick. It is a good foundation-stone for the building up of an individual art of healing. And certainly it is not an infallible instrument in the hands of a witch-doctor. Acupuncture has attracted much attention in the West during the last few years. On many occasions it has been presented to the public as a panacea. Glowing report have been made of its wonder cures. All this can be damaging to the practice of acupuncture. We believe acupuncture to be a wonderful systems of healing that 'has truly stood the test of time but like all other systems of healing, it has certain limitations. These may be a few only, but it must nevertheless be emphasised that acupuncture is not a cure for all the diseases. Furthermore, the results achieved through acupuncture will depend upon the training, skill, and experience of the practitioner of this art. In view of the uncertainty and confusion about acupuncture caused by conflicting reports, a number of doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists approached the first author with the suggestion that in view of his long experience in the practice of and in teaching acupuncture, he should write a book to explain the rudimentary methods of healing through acupuncture. The present volume is the result. Acupuncture can do much to help fight and prevent disease, but maintaining health is not the sale responsibility of the doctor; for the most part it is the individuals own. viii Preface Something else then happened to focus world attention on acupuncture. In the Far East such amazing technical advances were being made that it was possible for acupuncture to be us.ed as the only anaesthetic procedure for even major surgical operations. It has to be acknowledged now'that acupuncture cannot be lightly dismissed as charlatanry, mumbo-jumbo, or faith-healing, but must be accepted as a highly advanced therapy. To answer some of the many questions and to explain in simple terms what it is all about, and where it fits into the general medical pattern of our times, this book has been written with the positive hope of making it a handy but an invaluable guide in day-to-day cure of ailments through acupressure or acumassage.
