ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
This book is an illustrated practical guide to the effective use of acupressure in dealing with disorders including headaches, high blood pressure, skin troubles and sports injuries. The methods are for home use and centre round deep finger and thumb pressure over acupuncture points. It is a safe means of alleviating the discomfort from many common problems and is free from side-effects.
USER REVIEWS
"The strengths of this book are in the clear explanation of the techniques of acupressure and the illustrations of the location of the acupressure points. The layout is simple and effective; each health condition is presented on a double-page spread with explanation on the left-hand page and illustrations on the right-hand page. A better index could improve the book a lot. For example, PMS or related health issues are included under "dysmenorrhoea", which is probably not the first place many people would look. Otherwise this is a great little book because it is so succinctly presented. A lot of other similar books are far too dense when all you want is a quick reference for quick relief of symptoms."

"This is an excellent guide for the inexperienced layperson.
I have given copies to friends here and abroad and recommended it to many others including an allopathic doctor, as a good companion to have nearby, for relieving pain that would otherwise require a visit to a doctor or taking painkillers.
The diagrams are clear and easy to follow. Make sure you read the guidelines at the beginning of the book and generally avoid working on damaged bones or wounds from recent operations.
You don't have to know the exact acupressure points or terms or a lot about the human anatomy to get a result. If the point that you press is sore, it is generally the point that you need to press.
There is no need to use a lot of strength. Sometimes the person whom you are helping may be too frail to take the pressure or has a low pain treshhold. Just ease off and continue pressing on the spot until he or she can take more pressure.
There are many acupressure books in print. What makes this unique is that Dr Kenyon has selected a very EFFECTIVE COMBINATION OF ACCUPRESSURE POINTS for the problems that I have succesfully used to help my friends and relations with relieving intense pain in eg the hip, shoulder (frozen shoulder), hand, feet, wrist and neck. Also for diarrhoea.
In my limited experience, a result is generally obtained overnight. The relief on their faces is soemthing to behold.
I was going to order a few more copies of this book when I found that it was out of print. I hope Dr Kenyon will seriously consider updating this wonderful book.
It is so helpful in giving the layperson CONTROL and INDEPENDANCE in maintaining his own well being and certainly will save the National Health System a lot of money.
If anyone reading this knows Dr Kenyon please let him know of my request for a reprint."
