The title purports to introduce Gua Sha to the general public as an
effective yet safe therapeutic protocol with a short learning
curve, making it an extremely appropriate form of home-based
treatment. The treatment is deliberated at three different levels
of proficiency - plane, line and point, that correspond to
myofascial, meridian and acupoint treatment, the last which
effectively transforms Gua Sha into a non-invasive, needleless form
of acupuncture.Conceptualized with a utilitarian resolve, this
title spared little effort in covering the historic aspect of the
subject matter unless it is essential foundation knowledge.
Organized in three parts, the first section of the book helps build
a theoretical framework for the reader by introducing TCM theories
relevant to the subject. Building on this foundation, the next
segment on Treatment Protocols presents the practice aspects of the
subject that lay further groundwork for the chapter on
Applications. In the final part on Applications, the nature of
common disorders is deliberated from both contemporary medicine and
TCM perspectives before touching on the treatment protocol,
execution caveat and other considerations.
