A note from the author: I’m an acupuncturist with 20 years experience of treating couples with fertility problems. This book started life as a small note book which I kept in the clinic and as my knowledge has grown, so did the book. I’ve attended many training courses on fertility and I’ve tried to bring together all that I’ve learned about the use of specific points into this book. I was also a teacher at the College of Traditional Acupuncture and author of the original Spirits and Functions book, which became a college textbook. This book is also available as a Kindle book, which means it can be sold at a ridiculously affordable price! I really enjoy treating my fertility patients, it gives me great joy when they come in and announce that they are pregnant. I usually work with them through the pregnancy and it has been known for me to get a text at midnight at the airport announcing the safe arrival of a baby! I do hope you will find this book as useful in your practice as I do in mine.
