USER REVIEWS
"I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and sometimes the pain is so constant I just want to find some kind of relief. I tried 5 sessions of acupuncture for my neck arthritis with a wee bit of help but have always gotten relief when I slowly massage or put pressure on certain areas around my neck. The book substantiates what I've thought about putting pressure on certain muscles so I'll be interested to see how my pain improves over time.
I especially enjoyed reading how the body is so interconnected, something I've suspected for years. "

"This book is well organized and gives a good introduction to the background and philosophy of Chinese medicine if you are interested. The photos are clear and easy to follow. The large format of the book helps beginners to learn. I used some of the techniques for headaches and it worked-- no aspirin necessary. I also tried it for my teenage son to calm him when he could not fall asleep; he fell asleep within minutes. Keep this reference book near your medicine cabinet and reach for it instead of the usual drugs. You will be pleasantly surprised."

"An oversized format to this title might prove a shelving challenge to some collections but compensates by making for a great display item in THE ACUPRESSURE ATLAS, pairing step-by-step color photos of technique with anatomy pointers and therapy keys. From massage points to healing pressure potentials, THE ACUPRESSURE ATLAS offers far more insights on home how-to basic health care than most titles and an emphasis on visuals which makes for infallible applications."
