This is a very straightforward approach to this method of healing. The author writes simply and explains everything in layman terms. It is a no nonsense approach and gives the reader a good background for making the decision whether or not to try accupuncture or accupressure. He writs the was he talks. I highly recommend this book to everyone who has wonder what and how accupuncture works.

The mystery of the history revealed., November 29, 2006
By Michelle

Matthew did an excellent job in this book turning the complicated subjects of yin/yang and five-phase theory into clearly understood topics as they are applied to Chinese medicine. His theory is the best I have seen to uncover the mystical roots of acupuncture....it's very plausable that it happened just the way he describes.
This is a wonderful book for anyone with an interest in the history of acupuncture and acupressure, the Daoist philosophy surrounding Chinese medicine in general, and for detailed information and explanations on basic self-healing acupressure practices

An Excellent Overview of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, January 21, 2006
By L. Stomel
|
|
The author begins with a clear and unbiased explanation of the underlying differences between Western and Eastern Medicine. Within this context, he explains how and why acupuncture works using non-technical terms that any layman can understand.
The book includes clear examples of types of illness that are best treated within the Western biomedical model and those that are more effectively treated using Chinese Medicine (rather than opinion, his information rests on the NIH Consensus study of Acupuncture Effectiveness)
Part Three of the book gives many helpful Self Care instructions and explains the points that one can safely use acupressure on oneself and others to treat a variety of conditions.
An excellent resource for anybody interested in Acupuncture or the Oriental Healing Arts.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine 101, July 26, 2005
By J. E. Williams, OMD (Sarasota, FL USA)

|
This easy to understand, unbiased explanation of acupuncture, acupressure, and Chinese medical philosophy helps fill one of the missing links in our understanding of health and disease. It not only offers the reader a fascinating view of Chinese medicine, but provides self-help acupressure techniques from a practitioner who obviously knows his stuff. I enjoyed reading it and think every one interested in this field of medicine and self care can greatly benefit from reading it as well.
