Treat the cause of an illness, not just its symptoms--the holistic way! With this ancient Chinese form of medicine, you just apply pressure to problem areas to facilitate healing and restore bodily harmony. Think of your body as a map, divided into various zones. Each zone corresponds to an organ; acupressure influences that organ, rebalancing its energy. You'll find detailed diagrams that show you exactly where to apply pressure; the best times to stimulate or sedate an area for optimal effect, how to stroke to get the result you want; and rules about how often and for how long you can treat yourself. There's a specific treatment for every physical and emotional complaint: relieve asthma, allergies, anxieties, back trouble, colds, depression, headaches, heartburn, joint pain, loss of appetite, menopause, nervousness, skin ailments, stomachaches, weight problems--even something as seemingly minor as cold feet! In addition to the actual acupressure methods, you'll find an analysis of the possible underlying causes of each illness and suggestions for lifestyle changes. Whether used alone, or in tandem with aromatherapy, it will change your life and your health forever! 96 pages (all in color), 6 7/8 x 8.
