Acupressure's Potent Points: a Guide to Self-Care for Common Ailments

This book is very informative, but it is hard for the first-time "acupuncturist". :) Overall, I am learning more about the art from this book, but it could be a little more user friendly. :)

I go to an accupunturist but I really wanted to learn how to manage my health issues between appointments (it's not cheap) and this book was perfect for it. I also use it for my husband and our 3 year old. If they are having a specific complaint, we look up the points and the easy to follow information helps us treat ourselves. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to heal themselves or simply feel better on a daily basis.

My acupuncture M.D. recommended this book to me. I first borrowed it from the library & it proved so good, I bought my own copy. We've used it as a household remedy for charley horse spasms, headaches, insomnia, allergic reactions & more. My husband gets charley horse spasms in his thigh & finds it difficult to get relief. The acupressure points recommended in the book for spasms cleared his pain within 60 seconds. For that alone, it's priceless in his eyes. I found that holding the recommended points when I am experiencing mild allergic reactions at least lessens the reaction if not clears it up entirely. Ditto for mild headaches. It's been extremely helpful & well worth the purchase price.

This is a totally clear, easy to read, fact supported guide which addresses just about every need we humans could ever have.... things I'd never considered with respect to acupressure therapy. I'm looking for relief from Fibromyalgia, and found it here. The book has been passed around to every family member. Everyone agrees, it's complete. The author even adds warnings about interactions, information about what NOT to do, demonstrating his comprehensive knowledge of the subject. The book truly guides you through every step, giving you valuable facts as well as confidence to go further. The results have spoken for themselves. An excellent investment!

I borrowed this book from the library and now I'm buying two. The trigger points for insomnia really helped me. I've never slept so well. This is a great reference book for anyone's library.
