From the Back Cover
Chinese remedial infant massage or xiao er tui na is a safe, non-invasive, low cost, and extremely effective therapy for the treatment of a wide variety of childhood ailments. Unlike Western infant massage, Chinese infant massage uses very specific protocols or treatments for specific ailments. Most common childhood complaints respond in only one or two treatments.

This review is from: Chinese Pediatric Massage Therapy: A Parent's and Practitioner's Guide to the Treatment and Prevention of Childhood Disease (Paperback)
This is an informative book on Chinese massage therapy. It has massages that treat problems from abdominal pain to the common cold. Plus it has a general infant massage for a healthy baby. The reason why it earned 4 stars, instead of 5, is that it could have better drawings of the massage movements.

It Works!,
By Karen Broyles (In the Woods :)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Pediatric Massage Therapy: A Parent's and Practitioner's Guide to the Treatment and Prevention of Childhood Disease (Paperback)
I bought this book eight years ago, when my youngest was an infant. I found it to have immediate practical use--when I applied the techniques, it shortened the course of whatever illness we were treating (the turnaround was often very obvious once I began treatment). The techniques continued to be helpful as my infant grew into a preschooler, and began to come home with all the various bugs that were going around. Another reviewer suggests that the diagrams are insufficient, but the I found the descriptions more than adequate. Follow the directions, and you can help to ease your child through the miseries of common childhood illnesses.
