The
three volumes of Master Tung's Magic Points work together as an integrated system. Each serves a distinct purpose in developing your mastery.
Volume One: A Definitive Clinical Guide
Purpose: The foundation of the system
Volume One provides detailed point locations, mechanisms, and the fundamental theory behind Tung's Points. Every point description includes anatomical location, reaction areas, indications, needling notes, cautions, point combinations, and clinical commentary.
Best for: Building your foundation in Tung's system, learning precise point location, and understanding basic applications. This is where everyone should start.
Volume Two: The How and Why of Tung's Acupuncture
Purpose: The bridge from knowledge to mastery
Volume Two explores the seven theoretical principles that make Tung's acupuncture so powerful:
1. Opposite Side/Opposite End
2. Dao Ma (multiple needle technique)
3. Active Qi Moving
4. Guiding Points
5. Element Points
6. I Ching Relationships
7. Bleeding Points
It covers special needling techniques, palpation skills, painless approaches, and proper needle depth. You'll also learn the ancient healing arts of bleeding, cupping, and moxibustion — techniques that can cut your treatment time in half.
Best for: Developing advanced techniques, understanding the "why" behind point selection, and learning bleeding, cupping, and moxibustion methods. Get this after you've established your foundation.
Volume Three: The Clinician's Best Friend
Purpose: Your lifetime clinical reference
Volume Three is a comprehensive 1,000+ page resource offering multiple treatment protocols for virtually every condition you'll encounter, organized by disease category. From headaches and musculoskeletal pain to autoimmune conditions and oncology support — find detailed guidance for both common and complex cases.
Best for: Immediate clinical application, protocol reference, and addressing complex modern conditions. Keep this in your treatment room for quick lookup — or, on your reference table at home for in-depth study.
How They Work Together
