Capping a career that spans over five decades, Shudo Denmei, a leading teacher and authority on Meridian Therapy in Japan, has compiled 160 case studies that are representative of his practice of acupuncture and moxibustion and reflect the way that his practice has evolved.

Fifty Years of Practice: The Case Studies of Shudo Denmei is written as a guide for acupuncturists at various stages in their own practices. Dr. Shudo shares both his successes and failures, challenges and insights. It is a wide-ranging text, covering topics as varied as psychological and musculoskeletal. He reveals the entire process of his treatments from questioning to palpation diagnosis, and then to point selection and insertion technique.

The case studies are organized by categories of disorders and cover practically every type of condition that can be treated with acupuncture: musculoskeletal, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urogenital, gynecological and others. Based on his deep knowledge of both Western and East Asian medicine, Dr. Shudo discusses the possibilities as well as the limitations of acupuncture and moxibustion. He shares an abundance of knowledge and wisdom with his trademark humor and humanity. This is an inspiring, clinically-oriented memoire of a master practitioner with a lifelong passion for the art of healing.

Review

"A significant part of the readability of Denmei Shudo’s books is the self-effacing charm of his authorial voice. Despite his great skill and experience, he talks to the reader as practitioner to practitioner, without the grandiosity or esotericism to which exponents of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) are prone. In particular, the author is humble and honest about his own limitations, as well as those of acupuncture. This kind of information is clinical gold, especially for less experienced practitioners.

Whether or not you share Denmei Shudo’s approach to acupuncture, his curiosity, diligence, rigour, humility and honesty mark him out as an exceptional practitioner and teacher. In a field such as acupuncture, where the subtlety inherent in the qi paradigm, coupled with the diversity of approaches available make deep understanding challenging, the sheer depth of clinical experience distilled into this text makes this book worthy of attention by all acupuncture practitioners."

—Daniel Maxwell, The Journal of Chinese Medicine

Love her🥹
Love her so much. I just wish I could get her in a much bigger size too. Shipped very quickly and it was well packaged. It’s very lightweight but durable. Great value for the money. Perfect addition to my bedroom.

Small but detsil oriented
Color: Laocoon 5.5"
I saw this originally in a render online and fell in love with the fluid motion and emotion within the piece. The tale is tragic, if you want to read it, but this is a beautiful little take on it. Pleased by its size, quality, weight and the detail is impeccable. He chills on my work desk.

Elegant little piece

Simply so perfect. It adds a hint of elegance to any space. I did notice a tiny crack by his ear while taking pictures, still it's barely noticeable. I think it gives it character!
