“Optimum Time for Acupuncture: A Collection of Traditional Chinese Chronotherapeutics” is the long-out-of-print 1988 first edition that introduced Western readers to the little-known art of “time-sensitive” needling. In just 125 pages, Liu Bing Quan distills centuries of Chinese meridian-clock theory into a practical, hour-by-hour guide that shows why inserting a needle at 3 p.m. on the gall-bladder pathway can yield results that 3 a.m. simply cannot match. Every chapter is illustrated with clear meridian charts, day-night qi-flow diagrams, and pulse-diagnosis photos that make the ancient science easy for modern students, acupuncturists, and wellness-minded readers alike.
Collectors prize this hardcover because it is the true first printing, complete with its original dust jacket and the sturdy binding that 1980s Hong-Kong printers were famous for. The vintage pages carry a mild patina and a previous owner’s thoughtful highlighting on just twelve pages, giving you the welcome evidence that someone actually studied—not merely owned—this seminal text. An ink inscription on the fly-leaf adds a personal touch without affecting readability.
Whether you are a practitioner who wants to add chronopuncture to your toolkit, a bio-hacker chasing circadian optimization, or a bibliophile hunting the key first editions of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this copy delivers authoritative content you cannot find in modern reprints. Secure a piece of East-Asian medical history and put the power of perfect timing behind every treatment.
