"Cosmetic Acupuncture introduces an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems which is based on techniques grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In her Preface to the book the author states that "Cosmetic acupuncture is not about beauty but about health". She explains that the condition of the skin is an indicator of the internal health of the body. If our physical and emotional health are in good order and are well balanced this will be evident from the condition of our skin. Conversely if our skin has problems it may be a sign of internal or emotional disorder." "The first part of the book describes the blood, energy and body fluid states of all the internal organs and explains their relevance to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems. A separate chapter then describes in detail the acupuncture points and needling techniques which are used in the treatment of these problems. In the last part of the book the author discusses common skin and cosmetic problems and describes the specific treatments that maybe used for each and the rationale behind each choice of treatment.
