5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 20, 2002

By	Henry Raddick (London UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

A tremendous book to help soothe and relax. I tried a little "pocket massage" on a train recently - it certainly relieved the stress, but do remember to chose your venue with care, especially if you are using essential oils.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good Little book, December 31, 2000

By	"counterweight" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This is a good portable book on basic massage techniques, along with a very detailed and informative section on massage oils. It includes a chart of oils and their effects, as well as warnings about certain oils and their interaction with the environment.

The small size makes it easy to take anywhere, and the massage techniques are nicely organized by body part and by specific massage types, such as for relieving headaches, stomachaches,and eyestrain. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants a portable massage guide to keep close by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Little book for Stress Relief, May 31, 2002

By	Rachel Wooster (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is the perfect size for throwing in your purse or backpack. It is great for stress relief massages that you can do your self. It also has some great basic information on essential oils for massage and relaxation. I use this book a lot on temp work assignments and it really helps to relieve the stress.
