ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
A comprehensive, holistic book on pressure point healing.
Steve (my co-author) and I worked long and hard to create a book that would be truly helpful. We aimed to be complete, comprehensive, and holistic. We focused not only on healing, but on strategies for prevention and maintaining good health. And not only on pressure point procedures, but also on other natural approaches that anyone can use, such as simple exercises and stretches, diet (helpful foods and foods to avoid), meditation and stress management, herbs, supplements, etc. We drew from useful knowledge of both East and West. In addition to specific procedures for about 100 conditions (organized in an easy-to-use A to Z format) we've included a "Daily Health Builder," and "Eleven Universal Guidelines for Healthy Living." We've also included over 200 illustrations, to help you locate each point precisely. We hope you enjoy the book and find it helpful.

USER REVIEWS
"If you don't have any books on alternative therapies get this one. Covers a range of methods including pressure point therapy, reflexology and general health recommendations. I have used it several times (mainly for pain relief) and have found it very effective. Authoritative yet simple. Not really the book for experts in pressure points, unless you were reviewing it to reccommend to patients."

"I've read many books on acupressure and other forms of pressure point massage but this book, more than any of the others, has had a profound effect on my health and my relationship with the world around me. It's not just a book on how to, but a guide and teaching tool to live life more fully. I urge everyone to read it. It helps."

"As a patient of Steve Shimer's I have become I true believer in the power of acupuncture not only because of the relief it has brought from my chronic pain, but because of the general sense of well being I have at the conclusion of each treatment. With this new book, the authors' bring this healing power and sense of well being into the comfort of your home or office, using the techniques of acupressure, reflexology, and shiatsu. I was amazed at the clarity with which the authors were able to express the techniques and points so that they are easy to find and use. Whether you are looking for relief from a common problem or just to feel better all around, you can find what you need in this A to Z road map to well-being."

"Hooray! Finally, a highly trained expert in the field has written a superb book on acupressure that is head-and-shoulders above all other such books in print. This book provides a beautifully written, easy to understand summary of the basics of Chinese medicine, plus a clear, well illustrated guide to acupressure, shiatsu, and reflexology for almost any disease you can think of."

"This book is very readable and provides a wealth of practical techniques one can apply for specific ailments, as well as preventative routines. The illustrations are especially clear and leave no doubt as to the actual location of the pressure point to be stimulated for the desired effect. The book provides detailed information about acupressure, reflexology, shiatsu and additional suggestions for each ailment. The "additional suggestions" section associated with each ailment provides practical and specific dietary, exercise, herbal and other recommendations for treating the ailment being discussed."
