A Guide to Self-Care for Common Ailments

Relieve pain, tension, and stress with this definitive guide to acupressure, the centuries-old technique that utilizes gentle pressure from your hands to jump-start your body's self-curative abilities.

"A faithful and thoroughly incisive book on the ancient art of healing. With clarity and inspiring instructions, this is a welcome gift for all who seek health and well-being."-Chungliang Al Huang, author of Quantum Soup

With your hands you have the potential to improve your health, increase your vitality, and relieve everyday aches, pains, and ailments without taking drugs. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to stimulate key points on the skin that, in turn, activate the body's natural self-healing processes.

In Acupressure's Potent Points, Michael Reed Gach, founder and director of the Acupressure Institute of America, reveals simple techniques that enable you to relieve headaches, arthritis, colds and flu, insomnia, backaches, hiccups, leg pain, hot flashes, depression, and more-using the power and sensitivity of your own hands.
Written in clear, accessible language, with more than 400 photographs and easy-to-follow illustrations, Acupressure's Potent Points includes-
. keys to pressure-point locations and instructions on how to apply pressure safely and effectively
. step-by-step exercises
. a five-minute acupressure wellness program
. a chart to help you document your health progress
. tips on living and eating well
. and much more!

This practical guide covers more than forty ailments and symptoms, from allergies to wrist pain, providing pressure-point maps and exercises to relieve pain and restore function. Acupressure complements conventional medical care and enables you to take a vital role in becoming well and staying well. With this book you can turn your hands into healing tools-and start feeling good now.
