Book Description

Naturally Better February 12, 1996
Beautifully illustrated introductions to the most popular alternative therapies

In an accessible and attractive package, each Naturally Better title covers a single therapy, explaining its history and lore, how it works, and how and when to practice it at home. The series begins with four of the more popular alternative therapies: Aromatherapy, Acupressure, T'ai Chi, and Herbal Remedies.

Aromatherapy introduces the concept of essential oils and essences, explaining how to prepare and use them in infusions, baths, and massages. Acupressure shows how to use various massage and pressure techniques to release the chi, the essential body energy, and relieve certain illnesses and symptoms. T'ai Chi offers a brief introduction to this martial art, showing the basic movements and patterns that promote flexibility and relieve tension. Finally, Herbal Remedies introduces a wide range of medicinal herbs and demonstrates their uses and preparations.

Each book gives explicit step-by-step instructions through full-color photos and illustrations. A section on specific symptoms and their treatments rounds out the package. Beautifully illustrated, innovatively packaged, and expertly written, the Naturally Better books will inform while they entertain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical, July 15, 2006

This review is from: Acupressure: (Naturally Better) (Hardcover)
The accupuncture/accupressure system of self-healing is millenia-old, and I was looking for a book that would serve as a quick how-to rather than a lengthy thesis. I compared this book to the Michael Reed Gach book which seems very popular, and I have to say that this book works much better. It is brief, and yet leaves very little out. The format is well-suited for someone who just wants to get started, rather than be reading a textbook for the next few hours before getting started.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Beginners, July 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Acupressure: (Naturally Better) (Hardcover)
This was the first book I picked up to find out more about Acupressure and I found it to be very helpful and convincing. It was easy to understand and start practicing on myself. The techniques worked and were easy to remember. It definately piqued my interest to find out more on the topic. I would recommend it for those who are new to acupressure.

5.0 out of 5 stars great acupressure introduction, August 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Acupressure: (Naturally Better) (Hardcover)
I found this book mentioned in the review of another, similar book. This book is concise and is a very clear introduction to using acupressure as an overall health maintenance tool. It also has many tips for specific health conditions. The photographs and explanations are clear and easy to follow. If you want more theory or stories of how and why it works, this is not the book, but if you want to get started trying therapeutic pressure points for yourself, this book would be a good place to start. I have a friend who is a licensed acupuncturist who looked at this book and confirmed the validity and power of the points the author chose to focus on.
