Editorial Reviews

Review
"What's unique about [this] book is the photos for each situation: You do not ever have to guess or assume. The book stays open so you can refer to it while working." (
M. Stoodley, writer and yoga teacher, Nov 2007
)

"If I had to pick just one book on acupressure for my personal library, The Acupressure Atlas, with its clearly explained and well-illustrated information, would be the one. . . . can be used to self-treat or to treat a partner or a child, making this book a fantastic gift or an excellent addition to anyone's collection of books on natural healing." (
Animal Radio, May 2008
)

" . . . offers far more insights on home how-to basic health care than most titles and an emphasis on visuals which makes for infallible applications." (
The Midwest Book Review, Apr 2008
)

" . . . an attractive text with useful photographs throughout and makes a lovely addition to the office bookshelf for massage therapists, acupressure specialists, or every day people who want to begin exploring more natural techniques. The book is well-organized, easy-to-follow and will lie open flat, making the over-sized text valuable as a reference tool. . . . " (
Angela England, Suite 101, May 2008 
)

"Both the medical doctors authoring this book, have through painstaking thoroughness, explained and elucidated every point, meridian and technique to facilitate the reader to obtain expertise in this self-healing form of treatment."  (
Sheela Bhojwani, East and West Series, Vol. 50, No. 3, Mar 2008
)

"An easy to follow book and excellent reference for natural health practitioners and even novices looking for self-help." (
Making Scents, Winter/Spring 2008
)

"This giant paperbound book is filled with detailed photos and illustrations that will teach you the fundamentals of accupressure, with frequent references to its origins in ancient lore of Chinese medicine." (
Rainbo Electronic Reviews, May 2008
)

"If I had to pick just one book on acupressure for my personal library, The Acupressure Atlas, with its clearly explained and well-illustrated information, would be the one. . . . can be used to self-treat or to treat a partner or a child, making this book a fantastic gift or an excellent addition to anyone's collection of books on natural healing."

• Provides acupressure treatments tailored for a wide variety of health disorders, including back pain, heart and circulatory problems, and even the common cold

• Contains step-by-step instructions illustrated in full color for self-treatment or treatment of a partner

• A simultaneous hardcover and paperback release

Trouble sleeping, sensitive stomach, headaches, joint problems, allergies: Sensory ailments such as these have been steadily increasing in Western countries for decades. Acupressure--massage along the body’s meridians in accordance with traditional Chinese medicine--can effectively prevent and treat all of these disorders, and more. The Acupressure Atlas is a fully illustrated and comprehensive reference guide that demonstrates how acupressure techniques activate and accelerate the body’s self-healing powers to alleviate many health problems, including even the common cold.

Acupressure confers a holistic health benefit that prevents disorder from arising by harmonizing and balancing the body’s energies. It is particularly suited to self-treatment, the treatment of a partner, and especially the treatment of children. Along with an introduction to the origins and principles of traditional Chinese medicine, The Acupressure Atlas provides the most important basic techniques as well as step-by-step instructions, illustrated in full color, of the practical and specific information needed to put the healing techniques of acupressure at your fingertips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to learn this technique-- and it WORKS!, April 26, 2008
By K. bloch (Fort Lee, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is well organized and gives a good introduction to the background and philosophy of Chinese medicine if you are interested. The photos are clear and easy to follow. The large format of the book helps beginners to learn. I used some of the techniques for headaches and it worked-- no aspirin necessary. I also tried it for my teenage son to calm him when he could not fall asleep; he fell asleep within minutes. Keep this reference book near your medicine cabinet and reach for it instead of the usual drugs. You will be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great display item, March 2, 2008
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
An oversized format to this title might prove a shelving challenge to some collections but compensates by making for a great display item in THE ACUPRESSURE ATLAS, pairing step-by-step color photos of technique with anatomy pointers and therapy keys. From massage points to healing pressure potentials, THE ACUPRESSURE ATLAS offers far more insights on home how-to basic health care than most titles and an emphasis on visuals which makes for infallible applications.
