Books by John Hamwee

Describing the experience of acupuncture through the eyes of both practitioners and patients, this book shows how being attentive to all aspects of patients' lives uncovers the conditions for healing and affects the responses of both parties in pursuit of health and wellbeing.

12 stories each depict a different organ of the body and illustrate how they are traditionally understood in Chinese Medicine. The author shows that an appreciation of what the Chinese call the 'spirit of the organs' leads to more effective treatments of both common and unusual conditions.

An invaluable guide for anyone beginning a career in acupuncture, this book offers insights into likely challenges and pitfalls of the first years of practice. It addresses styles of working, common mistakes, confidence with patients, and success and failure in the treatment room, helping novice acupuncturists to reflect on their practice.
