Product Description
Synopsis
You have the potential to relieve most ailments with your hands. Acupressure is an ancient art practised by Chinese for over 5,000 years. This fully illustrated guide by Aaron Stein, Ph.D., distils acupressure into simple exercises that can be used to alleviate a wide range of medical conditions. It features practical and fully illustrated, step-by-step guide to treatment of every condition. Every step explains point location, direction of force, and duration of massage. No previous experience necessary. It is not necessary to massage active points on your own, you can ask somebody else to massage points for you. Total treatment duration for most conditions is 10 to 15 minutes. This book is available in electronic format for Desktop PC, Pocket PC, and Palm Devices. "Excellent book! The major strength of the book are its crisp illustrations, thorough description of acupressure points location, and step-by-step explanations." - Andrew Sharp from Austin, TX, April 22, 2004. "I have read many different acupressure guides before. This one by far is the easiest to use."- Paul Stanley from Minneapolis, MI, June 1, 2004 . "I am no longer afraid of the headache!"- Marie Wilson from LA, CA, February 27, 2004.

I have read many different acupressure guides before...
23 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
I have read a number of acupressure books before. Dr. Stein's book is the easiest to use. Finally, I can understand the location of acupoints, duration of massage, and direction of force. The illustrations are black and white but very clear.

excellent alternative approach
26 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
I am not generally the type to resort to alternative medicine but found this book extremely helpful. Several months ago I began having migrane headaches and consulted several doctors who prescribed painkillers. That didn't help, plus I really didn't want to be taking such medication full time. Then I came across this book, which was recommended by a friend. At first I was sceptical but my wife insisted that I try the techniques and I eventually saw improvement. Although the headaches sometimes recurr, I now know the techniques for managing them and don't feel the need for full time medication. Overall, I'd suggest this book to others who want to try to avoid doctor visits and tons of unnecessary medicine.

I was able to alleviate my wrist pain
21 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
My wrist was bothering me for over a year. I have tried wearing the splint but achieved little effect. My doctor was considering operation on my carpal tunnel nerve. I have decided to give a try to this Acupressure book. I was able to find trigger points indicated in the book easily - the description of the points was satisfactory. I have been massaging the points indicated in the book for several minutes each point. The pain subsided quickly after the massage. I have stopped treatment 2 weeks later. Now 3 weeks after I have stopped treatment I still have no problem with my hand.
