Customer Reviews

a real aid to maintaining health

If you believe in the tenets of Chinese medicine, and you want to take care of yourself (or children, spouse, friends, etc.), this book gives excellent guidelines for using acupressure. I've used it for myself and keep it by my bed, in case I wake up in the middle of the night with indigestion!

Amazingly Practical

This book benefits from a very practical layout and content, which is precisely what you want if you have a common ailment and are seeking the solution from a book. Clearly written with the minimum of techno-jargon and maximum relevant content per page. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Acupressure for Common Ailments

This book is an outstanding example of practical, useful information presented in a wel laid out format. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject and is exceptionally well written.

A great little encyclopaedia in less than 100 pages

This book is VERY useful. I practice Shiatsu and refer to this book all the time. Very well worth investing in a copy.

An Accupressure First-aid Manual

This book focuses on some easily-learned accupressure applications that seem intended to be the equivalent of a first-aid handbook. Although it lacks the in-depth discussion and completeness of a more professional work, the techniques listed cover some of the most common problems suffered by people (headache, sinus, acid stomach, knee pain,back pain, etc.). The methods are startlingly effective, especially the one for headache. I used this method once on a man who needed shots for a migraine, but who had left his medication home. The pain lessened by completion, but the relief continued afterward. His pain was completely gone in 10-15 minutes, and stayed gone. These methods are especially useful for those who already take a large number of prescription medications, and don't want to add other drugs to their system for more "routine" problems.
