Features: Many strange and inexplicable pains often occur on our bodies. Many of these pain locations are not on the surface but deep within the body. The characteristic of internal organ pain is that the pain location is vague, making it difficult to describe clearly, causing anxiety for the patient and ambiguity for the doctor. However, internal organ pain is either not painful or, if it is, it can be life-threatening. Therefore, how to treat and diagnose internal organ pain is a highly advanced field of study. Throughout this book, we adopt the methods of dialectical treatment, acupoint massage, and point therapy for different types of pain. Each pain condition includes both a general introduction to the condition and effective self-treatment methods for patients. Some also include expert testimonials and statistical data on the effectiveness of these methods. Detailed explanations of the location and positioning methods of commonly used acupoints are provided, and an important acupoint positioning table for common pain conditions is appended at the end. The book is accompanied by over 300 illustrations, which visually guide readers in using the methods. We believe that the over 1,000 acupoint massage methods for treating various ailments provided in this book can meet the basic needs of readers and patients in relieving pain.
