The Essential Step-By-Step Guide to Acupressure with Aromatherapy Treatments: Relief for 64 Common Health Conditions

by Nancy Bauer

Overview

Acupressure uses the same pressure points of acupuncture but instead of needles, you simply use your fingers to gently but firmly stimulate your body's natural ability to heal.

With its easy and conversational style along with step-by-step photos, you'll discover how to heal your concerns naturally while living a pain-free and vibrant lifestyle. When acupressure points are correctly stimulated they promote blood circulation and release muscular tension. This helps to heal pain and is ideal for preventative health because it actually boosts your immune system and increases the flow of energy throughout your body.

This book covers everything you need to know about acupressure along with the history and philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 64 pressure points and how they help to heal 64 specific health concerns.

The book is broken down into easy-to-understand sections beginning with:

Part 1: Understanding Chinese Medicine and Treatment of Disease

• History and philosophy of TCM, The 5 Elements, The Symbolic System, Acupressure defined and its connection to our energy flow

Part 2: 12 Systems of Chinese Medicine

• Head (including eye, nose throat), Respiratory, Digestive, Reproductive health for women and men, Integumentary (skin disorders), Musculoskeletal, Endocrine, Lymph/Immune, Urinary, Circulatory and Nervous

Editorial Reviews

04/24/2017
In this informative guide, Parramore, an aromatherapist and instructor at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Ore., provides a brief overview of Chinese medicine and its approaches to health and healing. The book explains that acupressure acts on the same points on the body as acupuncture, but practitioners use their fingers rather than fine needles to stimulate “the body’s natural ability to heal.” Aromatherapy complements acupressure, Parramore explains, because essential oils easily enter the body through the skin and “act as an antenna” as acupuncture needles do, to help access the qi, “a vital force that flows through the body.” The book includes diagrams for 64 pressure points and describes acupressure and aromatherapy treatments for 64 conditions, listed alphabetically from addiction to viral infections, as well as a glossary and index. Parramore acknowledges that conventional medical treatments are the appropriate choice in some instances, such as a traumatic accident, but writes that alternative treatments may be better in other situations, such as alleviating day-to-day symptoms. Although the diagrams are well drawn and explained, it may still be difficult for inexperienced readers to accurately find the correct pressure point without additional guidance. (Dec.)
