Capping a career that spans over five decades, Shudo Denmei, a leading teacher and authority on Meridian Therapy in Japan, has compiled 160 case studies that are representative of his practice of acupuncture and moxibustion and reflect the way that his practice has evolved.

Fifty Years of Practice: The Case Studies of Shudo Denmei is written as a guide for acupuncturists at various stages in their own practices. Dr. Shudo shares both his successes and failures, challenges and insights. It is a wide-ranging text, covering topics as varied as psychological and musculoskeletal. He reveals the entire process of his treatments from questioning to palpation diagnosis, and then to point selection and insertion technique.

The case studies are organized by categories of disorders and cover practically every type of condition that can be treated with acupuncture: musculoskeletal, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urogenital, gynecological and others. Based on his deep knowledge of both Western and East Asian medicine, Dr. Shudo discusses the possibilities as well as the limitations of acupuncture and moxibustion. He shares an abundance of knowledge and wisdom with his trademark humor and humanity. This is an inspiring, clinically-oriented memoire of a master practitioner with a lifelong passion for the art of healing.

Review

"A significant part of the readability of Denmei Shudo’s books is the self-effacing charm of his authorial voice. Despite his great skill and experience, he talks to the reader as practitioner to practitioner, without the grandiosity or esotericism to which exponents of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) are prone. In particular, the author is humble and honest about his own limitations, as well as those of acupuncture. This kind of information is clinical gold, especially for less experienced practitioners.

Whether or not you share Denmei Shudo’s approach to acupuncture, his curiosity, diligence, rigour, humility and honesty mark him out as an exceptional practitioner and teacher. In a field such as acupuncture, where the subtlety inherent in the qi paradigm, coupled with the diversity of approaches available make deep understanding challenging, the sheer depth of clinical experience distilled into this text makes this book worthy of attention by all acupuncture practitioners."

—Daniel Maxwell, The Journal of Chinese Medicine

Just the cases but very soft and cute
They are great quality material. Comes with two cases, not the pillows though. Very soft and look nice with almost everything. Good value and fits standard square pillows great.

Super cute
Got these “pillow cases” for our bed as accessory pillows. They are so soft and the light pink is beautiful. I have the matching blanket which is amazing as well. You do have to buy pillows for the inside. Remember when buying insert pillows they should be two inches bigger than the case. For example if the case is 18” your pillow should be 20”. That ensures a full puffy look.

Excellent quality; fit may be tight
The quality of these covers is very good. The feel is soft and warm. The color is rich. They wash easily and well. My only problem is the fit. My 15” throw pillows are overstuffed, and they won’t fit in these covers. If your pillows are not overstuffed, I highly recommend these.

Really like these for the price
I was surprised when I received these because they are made better than expected. The color is accurate and they are nice and fluffy. Hidden zipper works well too. We will see how they wash when the time comes, but I usually bag items like this so should be fine.
