Book Description

Nov 1 1990
With your hands you have potential to relieve everyday aches, pains and ailments without taking drugs, to improve your health, and to increase your vitality. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to stimulate key points on the skin that, in turn, activate the body's natural self-healing processes. With this book, it is a skill you can learn now--and use in your own home.

In Acupressure's Potent Points, Michael Reed Gach, founder and director of the Acupressure Institute of America, reveals simple techniques that enable you to relieve headaches, arthritis, colds and flu, insomnia, backaches, hiccups, leg pain, hot flashes, depression, and more--using the power and sensitivity of your own hands.

This practical guide covers more than forty ailments and symptoms, from allergies to wrist pain, providing pressure-point maps and exercises to relieve pain and restore function. Acupressure complements conventional medical care, and enables you to take a vital role in becoming well and staying well. With this book you can turn your hands into healing tools--and start feeling good now.

Product Description

From Library Journal

The technique of using acupressure to relieve pain has been around for 5000 years and even predates acupuncture. It is possible to learn to perform acupressure on oneself by following the well-illustrated instructions and diagrams in this book. Two clearly written chapters give the history, theory behind the technique, and some general instructions, followed by 40 chapters which cover specific disorders--acne, insomnia, shoulder tension, etc.--and how acupressure can help relieve them. There is also a glossary. Libraries that don't have other works on this subject will want this one; those that do will still want to consider this as a worthy additional purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very User Friendly and Helpful Jan 28 2004
By J. Eure
Format:Paperback
This is a very useful reference for anyone interested in playing an active part in healing themselves. Just look up your complaint (headache, nausea, etc) and the book provides several points that may help, along with a description of the points, their names and what they are specifically helpful for. The book also provides detailed instructions and photos to help you get the proper position of the points. Very easy to use and understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad Jan 3 2004
Format:Paperback
Pretty good clinical book. Easy to follow pictures and techniques. Actually works , especially on people who "don't like to take medicines." Gach also has a video called "Acupressure Fundamentals" which he shows not only key acupressure points but also Shiatsu.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why Hurt When You Can Help Yourself? Nov 1 2001
Format:Paperback
Acupressure points work. This book is clear and provides
simple techniques to press those aches and pains away. You
don't need to sit there all day with throbbing sinuses or
a major headache. Flip the book open to the right page,
give yourself a couple minutes to press the points involved,
and you'll feel better in no time.
