4.0 out of 5 stars A Different Approach to Healing or Preventive Medicine, July 10, 2000

By	Julie A. Hager (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
