Book Review :
''Principles and Practice of Scientific Acupuncture'' is a seminal medical textbook co-authored by the renowned Sri Lankan physician and researcher, Dr. Anton Jayasuriya, alongside Felix Fernando. This book systematically presents the foundational theories and clinical applications of acupuncture from a structured, ''scientific'' perspective, as interpreted by Dr. Jayasuriya, a key figure in promoting and researching traditional medicine in Sri Lanka. It serves as a crucial resource for medical students, practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and researchers interested in understanding the mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic protocols of acupuncture within a contemporary framework. The book's value is amplified by its origin in Sri Lanka's rich traditional medical heritage, making it an important reference both locally and for an international audience seeking knowledge from this perspective.
