The Jade Dragon Verse of Using Acupuncture (known as Yu Long Fu in Chinese) uses the phrase, "jade dragon" in the title to indicate its extraordinary value. It is a compilation of 120 acupuncture points written by Bian Que, the "miraculous doctor" in Chinese history. Que's intent was to use the least amount of points along with sedating and tonification techniques to achieve the greatest clinical outcomes. This compilation is extremely useful for acupuncture practitioners interested in the authentic teachings of the classic TCM texts.
