The Acupressure Atlas,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Acupressure Atlas (Paperback)
Hands down, The Acupressure Atlas is the best beginner's book on acupressure that I've come across. The book begins by explaining the basics of acupressure including the organ systems, transitional cycles, and dichotomies in an easy to understand way. To further clarify this information, this section includes full color pictures showing the meridians and charts summarizing the characteristics of each of these energy channels.From here, The Acupressure Atlas looks at the how to of acupressure. First, the how to of acupressure and then the locations of various key points along each of the meridians. The latter is summarized in charts at the end of the book. At each step, the meridians are color coded on illustrations showing their relative position. Individual points are shown in close up mode in big colour pictures. Descriptions include measurements and tips on how to find the right location of each point.

Excellent way to learn this technique-- and it WORKS!,
By K. bloch - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Acupressure Atlas (Paperback)
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.

A great display item,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Acupressure Atlas (Paperback)
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.

Accupressure Atlas,
By Georgia A. Weaver "Red Headed Realtor" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Acupressure Atlas (Paperback)
This book was bought in conjunction with one on Trigger Points and both have been helpful in managing back and leg pain. This book has great illustrations, so you know you are doing it right. I am a little leary of the heavy duty pain medications the doctors prescribe so I tried this method and it does work, or it did for me.
