Editorial Reviews
Because no one knows how acupuncture first began, it's no wonder that Americans tend to be skeptical about the practice. But as difficult as it may be for many to believe, acupuncture has the potential to be an effective form of therapy in virtually every area of medicine. A well-trained acupuncturist can treat a wider variety of patients than practically any other type of healthcare professional. In his new book, The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture: A Complete Guide to Timeless Traditions and Modern Practice, renowned acupuncturist Matthew D. Bauer delves into the roots of acupuncture to offer the first comprehensive theory about the genesis of Chinese medicine, and offers practical information on how to obtain the most help from this ancient healing system.
Adopting a unique and essential three-tiered approach, The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture covers the development of acupressure and acupuncture under the Eastern methods of science, describes simple acupressure methods that readers can employ on themselves, and explains how acupuncture's ability to stimulate self-healing, used alone or with Western therapies, can help cure dozens of health problems—many of which modern medicine alone is powerless to help!
Readers will learn how to: · Effectively treat migraines, lower pack pain, asthma, allergies, stress, and more · Find the right practitioner · Balance their qi
Acupuncture is based on the theory that there is an invisible force or energy in nature that the Chinese call qi. In a manner similar to blood circulation, qi flows to each cell via a complex network of pathways usually called "channels" or "meridians." If qi gets stuck, it causes an imbalance as upstream cells are flooded with too much qi and downstream cells receive too little. Acupuncture points are those spots where qi has the greatest tendency to get stuck; hence stimulating them with needles (acupuncture) or finger pressure (acupressure) helps free stuck qi and restore normal circulation. Once normal qi circulation is restored, the cells eventually return to their normal, healthy state.
About the Author
Matthew D. Bauer, a Licensed Acupuncturist, herbalist, and qi-gong healer, studied Taoist philosophy with a 74th generation Taoist master. In investigating the roots of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, he also explores profound questions regarding issues of spirituality and the evolution of the human condition. Bauer has been in private practice for 19 years and writes a regular column for Acupuncture Today. He received an honorary Ph.D. in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Yuin University. Bauer maintains a practice at La Verne Acupuncture in La Verne California.
"I wrote this book out of frustration that millions of people who could be helped by this simple, cost-effective healing system were not taking advantage of it because they knew so little about and it seems so bizarre. Acupuncture is a safe, simple, method of healing that can ease pain and suffering and literally save lives." Bauer states, "I am convinced that the more we learn about the roots of acupuncture and acupressure, the better we will understand how to help ease pain and suffering today and in the future."

WHEN I FIRST BEGAN MY STUDIES of Taoism, I came face-to-face with a manner of thinking every bit as sure of itself as modern Western thought, yet so different that I readily understood why Kipling was sure "never the twain shall meet" Like everyone I'd ever known, I had spent my life accepting the concept that doctors took care of our bodies by ordering x-rays and lab tests, prescribing drugs, and performing surgery, while religions dealt with matters of the spirit.
