| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Acupuncture and anthrosophical medicine are fast gaining worldwide popularity as effective forms of alternative medicine. Acupuncture is the procedure of inserting and manipulating needles into various points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. Evidence supports the use of acupuncture to control some types of nausea and pain. Anthroposophical medicine is a holistic and salutogenetic approach to medicine focusing on strengthening the patient's individuality. The self-determination, autonomy, and dignity of patients are central themes, and therapies are intended to enhance a patient's capacities to heal. This book studies various elements of these therapies including list of acupuncture points, auriculotherapy, and anthrosophical view of human being.
