Features: This book is the fourth volume in the "Family Self-Care and Health Series," focusing on introducing the basic knowledge and techniques of non-pharmacological therapies in traditional Chinese medicine that are easy to learn and apply at home. In the writing process, we have strived to avoid overly professional language and complex principles, using simple and easy-to-understand language to explain the content in a clear and accessible manner. However, due to limitations in scope, time, and expertise, any errors or omissions should be pointed out by fellow professionals and readers. The book is divided into two main parts: Basic Knowledge of Non-Pharmacological Therapies and Home Non-Pharmacological Treatment for Common Conditions. In the first part, it primarily introduces the key points, indications, and precautions for various methods such as massage and tuina, simple acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint pressing, plum blossom needle therapy, Gua Sha, cupping, auricular acupressure, and foot acupressure. The second part covers the non-pharmacological treatments selected for various common conditions. The book is written in plain and easy-to-understand language, accompanied by illustrative diagrams, and provides practical content, making it an ideal medical popular science read for home use. It is suitable for readers with a junior high school education or higher from all walks of life.
