It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to endorse Professor Xia’s compilation of insightful studies in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion research. Scientific and modernized, Current Research in Acupuncture is knowledge concerning new advances in the field made available to the scholarly physician in a most understandable format. I have no doubt that such studies in the treatment of syndrome complexes, as well as the new and highlighted modalities described, will advance the field of acupuncture to new levels of application and further research. This book is a must-read for scholarly practitioners and researchers of integrative medicine, everywhere.
