This chart arrived this morning, and it seems ideal, it comes fully laminated, folded and even hole-punched so it fits perfectly in a 3-ring binder making it ideal for students. It seems to have a great deal of detail with many body parts being shown separately for more clarity. As far as I can tell, it's just like the wall charts you see in the acupuncture/acupressure clinics, only a more portable and practical size for the student or someone like myself who's just interested in learning a bit more about the subject.

It's not huge, but the writing and detail are all perfectly clear, so there shouldn't be any problems reading it or finding the required information.

It's clear & has enough anatomical detail to locate the points quite accurately. Certainly enough for home use. A lot of books on accupressure/shiatzu or qigong either have no diagrams at all or vague sketches. This info isn't available over the net, so it's a 'must have' companion for anyone working at home with TCM. Thanks to the publishers for a great job.

I agree this item is a bit on the small side, on the other hand the information containd is first class. Some knowlage of Meridians and either Acupressure/puncture is needed but it is also a good study aid if your just starting to learn.

Before I bought this chart, I searched for the reviews which mostly said it was a good product. Well, I was shocked, after receiving it, as the point location in most meridians is TOTALLY incorrect, for example 8RM, 25ST, 17ST... the stomach channel is not really properly aligned, the Ren Mai is distorted, etc... There's so many errors, that it scares me to think students are using this to memorize point location.
It was a totally waist of money and I DON'T advise it to no one who takes acupuncture seriously!

The meridians are not explained, good only if you have a reference book to refer back to and you need good eyesight to read

The Acupressure Ref Guide was worth buying and the price good although you would have fought it would be expence because of the material used to produce it. I think I have done well for the price.

Size is 3 x A4, which is really too small, for the amount of information included on it.

This is great as a reminder if you are already familiar with the points and their location. Not so good for a beginner as quite fiddly and difficult to read.

This laminated fold away reference to acupressure points is well worth investing in. It is especially useful for those therapists who practice reflexology and who use Chinese 5 element and meridian techniques as part of their practice. The map does take a little time to become familiar with but really is very useful and the fact that it is laminated and folds up means it fits into any A4 folder for easy reference alongside client notes / case studies. I thoroughly recommend it's purchase, a great little addition to your main reference books.

A comprehensive set of diagrams of acupressure points from all angles, an excellent learning device. It is very inclusive for its size. I can understand why some might think it's cramped, but I think that's a reflection of the reality of the channels/meridians - they're not exactly clear and concise themselves! I can't recommend this more highly for anyone interested in bodywork who would welcome a sparkling clear set of diagrams to help locate the key points, be it for acupressure, shiatsu or any similar form of therapy.
