Product Description
With your hands you have potential to relieve everyday aches, pains and ailments without taking drugs, to improve your health, and to increase your vitality. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to stimulate key points on the skin that, in turn, activate the body's natural self-healing processes. With this book, it is a skill you can learn now--and use in your own home.
In Acupressure's Potent Points, Michael Reed Gach, founder and director of the Acupressure Institute of America, reveals simple techniques that enable you to relieve headaches, arthritis, colds and flu, insomnia, backaches, hiccups, leg pain, hot flashes, depression, and more--using the power and sensitivity of your own hands.
This practical guide covers more than forty ailments and symptoms, from allergies to wrist pain, providing pressure-point maps and exercises to relieve pain and restore function. Acupressure complements conventional medical care, and enables you to take a vital role in becoming well and staying well. With this book you can turn your hands into healing tools--and start feeling good now.

 Acupressure book July 30, 2010

The book sounds good, I haven't used it too much yet, I think the key is to continuously apply acupressure, which takes time and most of the time, I don't have the time.
 An excellent book July 23, 2010
Twin Cities G (Twin Cities, MN)
This books describes and illustrates nicely how to self administer accupressure to help lessen all types of symptons, from mild depression, neck/back aches, anxiety and many more. I hope to see a 2nd printing soon!

This is a great book for the self-care individual as it's easy to apply and to read. It's a great resource to a professional as a key reference text as it's alphabetical order helps you get right to the point. As afore mentioned the book also has a `by system' search option as well. All in all it could be a little less repetitive but hey, a ton of studies show that repetition is the best way to retain information long term. Another good buy for holistic modality professionals is Meagan Holub's The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a massage Therapist. Her book is formatted appropriately and provides invaluable instruction and insight into the business end of the profession as well as sections on Deep Tissue massage and the importance of healing oneself.

Debbie (Whitman, MA)
Fantastic book, lots of info. Very accurate description of where the points are.
Am going for acupuncture, in between visits I use this book as a guide to stimulate
the points that relate to my problem. Highly recommend this book if you want to learn acupressure.
