Yvonne Farrell has been educating acupuncturists in California and internationally since 1997 and has spent the last 15 years focussing her teaching on the use of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. She has been a respected instructor at many schools in California and is a Continuing Education provider on this topic through Healthy Seminars.

A welcome addition to the literature that exists on the subject (...) what is interesting and unusual about this book is not only that it goes into great details about every EV, but also that it is focused on treating EV as a way of bringing the person closer to his or her original energetic make-up or original nature (...) I would certainly recommend this book not only to anyone interested in exploring the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, but anyone pondering the philosophical question of health and disease.
