HEALTH / BODYWORKThe Acupressure Atlas The Acupressure Atlas is a
fully illustrated and comprehensive reference guide that
demonstrates how acupressure techniques activate and accelerate the
body's self-healing powers to alleviate many health problems,
including even the common cold. Sensory ailments--such as trouble
sleeping, sensitive stomach, headaches, joint problems, and
allergies--have been steadily increasing in Western countries for
decades. Acupressure can effectively prevent and treat all of these
disorders, and more. It is suited to self-treatment, the treatment
of a partner, and especially the treatment of children.Acupressure,
which is a component of traditional Chinese medicine, prevents
disorder from arising by harmonizing and balancing the body's
energies. One pillar of traditional Chinese medicine is the model
that sees qi (life energy) circulating throughout the human body
along a series of channels, or energy meridians. When qi can move
freely along these channels, we experience good health and a sense
of well-being. When our life energy is restricted or
blocked--through stress, injury, poor diet, lack of exercise, or
overwork--we experience pain and the symptoms of illness. Lined up
along the meridians like pearls on a string are sensitive points
called acupressure points. It is at these points that the meridians
connect to the surface of the body. By massaging the acupressure
points on the body's surface, we can release internal energy
blockages and allow the health-giving energy to move freely once
again.Along with an introduction to the origins and principles of
traditional Chinese medicine, The Acupressure Atlas provides the
most important basic techniques aswell as step-by-step
instructions, illustrated in full color, of the practical and
specific information needed to put the healing techniques of
acupressure at your fingertips. An illustrated appendix, providing
a detailed overview of every point discussed in the book, will
prove to be an invaluable reference.BERNARD C. KOLSTER, M.D., is a
