Dr Hashimoto practises Acupuncture at her own large and successful clinic, where the emphasis is on prevention rather than cure. Dr Chancellor declares: 'The results that she obtains with her therapy are nothing short of astounding.'
Dr Hashimoto's treatise contains a wealth of information on the theory and practice of Acupuncture, with special reference to her own variation on the classical principles of Pulse Diagnosis. The writing exudes an Oriental charm which is summed up in a graceful postscript: 'The truth is simple; he who masters the essentials of Acupuncture will be called a master. . . . Now it is spring, and it is a pleasant time of the year. I am happy to publish my book at this season. " Vissza
