This book does not have the pretension to be a reference text on Tung’s Acupuncture, since it’s content is based on my own studies and very basic understanding of the system.Very few practitioners know Tung’s acupuncture in Brazil and since I had my first contact with it, about a year ago, it has really impressed me.This book is being published in english first, since the english speaking community is much more active and numerous than the portuguese speaking community, and this way, a lot of people, much more experienced than me, can help a lot this ongoing project. Soon after this book is published in english, it will be translated into portuguese. My ultimate goal is to humbly contribute to the community and help propagate Tung’s acupuncture in Brazil.These “Top 30” points were not randomly chosen. I’ve used some of them in my daily practice and also, as a matter of fact, all 30 points are based on an online seminar by Dr. ChuanMin Wang, who was a direct disciple of Master Tung.There are many, many other great points in Tung’s Acupunture, but I had to narrow them down to only 30. My next project will be a Top 50 or Top 60 Tung’s points book.This book is free. This way, I hope I can help motivate people to start learning and using the system.Everyone can download, share, copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.. It has no copyrighted
