An auto accident left Cathryn Bauer with such a badly damaged leg that her orthopedist believed her limp and chronic pain were permanent. Determined to heal herself, she created a self-care program that utilized acupressure, visualization, and Tai Chi. Acupressure not only relieved her pain but also facilitated a complete healing.
This small, clearly written reference book discusses why acupressure is effective. ("It began with the observation that when you are hurt, your hand instinctively moves to cover the injury.") It tells--succinctly--how to work with acupressure points, what precautions to take, and the Western and Asian views of the discipline. Sections address treatments for alleviating the suffering related to PMS, pregnancy, menopause, and aging. Forty-four anatomical drawings show the specific points for these common ailments.
