Features: Acupressure is a therapeutic method that has developed over thousands of years of history and tradition, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. Acupressure is a means of relieving pain and alleviating fatigue. By stimulating various points throughout the body in different ways, it adjusts the flow of "qi and blood," the vital energy, which can treat diseases before they manifest. Illness is not an acute onset. It develops from various sub-health states such as work-related fatigue, mental tension, shoulder pain, lower back pain, high blood pressure, headaches, and poor peripheral circulation. These symptoms are the "diseases that have not yet manifested," and acupressure is an effective means of treating them. This book lists 75 common conditions and teaches acupressure in a simple and easy-to-understand illustrated format. While explaining the conditions by symptoms, it also introduces the meridians throughout the body and the location methods of their associated acupoints, as well as the primary diseases they treat.
