Explanations of Channels and Points, will provide you insight into classical indications, as well as an understanding as to why this point does what it does, this book is a one-of-its-kind in Chinese medical history. I also encourage those that have read a Manual of Acupuncture to go back and read it again, and start utilising the point combinations in it, it is an untapped resource!

My name is Michael Brown, and perhaps like you, I remember hearing many differing opinions when I was at school. Teachers would often make statements, but provide no references as to why, so as I was finishing my studies one my teachers told me to go and learn Chinese language so I could read it for myself. And that’s what I did.

Learning Chinese allowed me to go directly to the source of the medicine, and discover the context of the medicine that is often failed, or not conveyed very well at schools. I started at Chinese philosophy, as that was where yin and yang, and five phases were created, and then I moved on to the classics of Chinese medicine. Reading the classics gave me context that I felt was missing at schools.

I’ve finished translating a book called The Explanations of Channels and Points, the first volume contains channels from the lung to the bladder. You can hear more about this book in the interview, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.
