An understanding of acu-points is vital not only for acupuncturists but also for bodyworkers. This user-friendly manual contains current, comprehensive information for both groups, with special emphasis on how shiatsu and tuina therapists can best utilize “point knowledge” in their practice. Renowned experts Chris Jarmey and Ilaira Bouratinos use succinct text, a well-organized framework, and detailed color anatomical illustrations to clarify the complexities of acu-points. In keeping with normal practice, the authors give the precise anatomical location of a point and illustrate it with a dot, along with alternative locations where relevant. However, the book goes further by delineating the larger area where the point can be activated by pressure, gua sha, and other means. In addition, it explains the optimum physical position for treatment via acupuncture, acupressure, and other strategies, as treatment positions can vary according to the method of point stimulation. The book also documents the distribution of sensation resulting from point stimulation, and differentiates between pressure and needle application where appropriate. A Practical Guide to Acu-Points presents a wealth of carefully researched information equally valuable for professionals, students, and conscientious practitioners.

"What a treasure to find this book, which provides the best guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine I have ever read!"--Ann Louise Gittleman, New York Times bestselling author of 35+ books on health and nutrition What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You? While modern medicine is not yet two centuries old, Chinese medicine has been helping people heal for more than fifty centuries. What was the secret these ancient healers discovered? How to harmoniously balance the five basic energies, or "elements" (earth, metal, water, wood, and fire) that relate to our body's organs and play a key role in our health. Now, in this easy-to-use, color-illustrated guide, healing expert Warren King shows you how to apply this ancient healing wisdom to your own body. You will learn how to make sense of your symptoms and identify the elements and organs you need to focus on to achieve balance and vitality. You can think of your organs, says King, as ten servants who are constantly working to help you stay happy and healthy, positive and full of energy. When things get out of balance--well, they try to let you know. But can you understand what they are saying and connect the dots of your symptoms? In this accessible self-healing handbook, you'll learn the hidden language of the organs and discover ways to self-diagnose and make the amazing connection between each of the five elements and specific symptoms, emotions, and organs. You'll also find effective healing tools, such as the acupressure points, facial diagnosis, exercises, and strengthening herbs, foods, and cooking styles that correspond to each element and will support your areas of weakness. Also includes healthy recipes to give each of your organ systems a boost plus a bonus chapter on how modern toxins (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, and more) affect your body's systems--and what you can do right now to toxin-proof your life. The Five Elements of Healing is the essential self-healing guide for your lifelong path to vibrant health

Seated acupressure massage was developed from a traditional Oriental shiatsu style technique and adapted for use in offices, health clubs, clinics, and hospitals. Hundreds of acupressure points are located throughout the body on meridian lines. These "chi," or energy points, are stimulated with finger and elbow pressure to relieve the physical symptoms of stress, muscle tension, and joint stiffness. Kneading, percussive movements, and mobilization techniques are also used. This approach will balance the flow of energy throughout the body as well as stimulate the muscular, nervous, lymphatic, immune, and circulatory systems, leaving the client calm yet energized and clearly focused. Seated acupressure massage is perfectly adaptable for use in any workplace and in clinics. With the growing demand from employers for practical stress management, the increased earning potential for this therapy is considerable. It is extremely helpful for the following conditions: Backache; Skin conditions; Muscular tension; Repetitive strain injury; Irritable bowel syndrome; Sciatic pain; Asthma; Depression; and Headache Acupressure massage is received through clothing on a comfortable, ergonomically designed chair, offering the maximum benefit to the client in as little as 20 minutes.
