Features: This book primarily introduces the home application of Tuina and acupuncture for treating common diseases, while also covering preventive healthcare, beauty, and home first aid. The entire book aims to be simple, easy to understand, and easy to remember, with treatment methods designed to be straightforward and practical. Its major feature is the integration of Tuina and acupuncture, with a focus on massage and Tuina supplemented by simple acupuncture to achieve the best results. For each common disease, the treatment plan is summarized in four aspects (i.e., local massage, nearby acupoint treatment, distant acupoint treatment, and others), with a treatment outline listed at the beginning of each chapter, accompanied by illustrations of acupoints for easy reference and memorization. For foundational content such as meridians, acupoints, and Tuina techniques, the text is kept concise, focusing on simple and commonly used information. To facilitate acupoint location, a table of common acupoints is also included. This book is suitable for home healthcare and treatment, as well as serving as an introductory textbook and reference for Tuina and acupuncture enthusiasts.
