DOG REFLEXOLOGY AND ACUPRESSURE FOR OWNERS describes how you can help your dog when it is in pain, discomfort or has problems, including behavioral problems, by applying gentle pressure on reflexology and acupressure points. The book is richly illustrated with an indication of the location of the points and an easily accessible and clear text supports the images. For example, there are points for allergies, back problems, fear and aggression. The book also contains a wellness program for owners who have healthy dogs. A point system shows you how to maintain the dog's well-being and good health by stimulating its nervous system, immune system, digestion, circulation and energy flow. Words from the author: / The author says: I have had so many wonderful responses from dog owners, who have used, what they have learned from reading my book, on their dog with great success. One owner, for example, treated the anal gland point, which was so helpful that the dog no longer needs to go to the vet to get its anal glands emptied.

Books about reflexology for humans have been known for many years. Now this book makes it possible to gain knowledge about reflexology for dogs as well. The book describes the technique and where the dog's reflex areas are located on the paws. All content is carefully described and complemented with illustrated figures. The dog's urinary passages, nervous system, digestion, senses, respiratory passages, immune system, circulation, detox system, endocrine system, bones and muscles are some of the content you will find described in the book.Furthermore, the book provides practical tools to support reflexology treatment such as face reflexology, acupressure, treatments of meridians and homeopathy. In order to understand the location of the reflex areas on the paws, the reader is guided through the principles of human reflexology and how the reflex areas on humans have come to be. It is then shown why and how this knowledge can be transferred to dogs, and how the reflex areas are adjusted to fit the dog's anatomy and physiology i.e. the reflex areas are mapped out with regard to the differences between humans' and dogs' anatomies. Several experts in the veterinary field have contributed to the book with the necessary western knowledge.The reader is introduced to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) which constitutes the theoretical background for both reflexology and acupressure. It consists of the 5 Elements, meridians, acupressure points, yin and yang, and mental aspects including the dog's behavior.Vivian Birlie, a member of the Danish Author's Society, is an acupuncturist and reflexologist, and has treated both humans and dogs since 1997.

CANINE ACUPRESSURE, MASSAGE, AND HOMEOPATHY GUIDE FOR NATURAL HEALING AND IMPROVED HEALTH Acupressure is an ancient form of massage that is one of the treatment methods used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The goal of acupressure (as well as other Chinese Medicine treatments) is to encourage the movement of qi ("life energy") through the 14 channels (meridians) inside the body. These are the same energy meridians and acupoints as those targeted with acupuncture. Chinese Medicine theory states that the constant flow of qi through these channels is essential for a person to keep their health. If this energy flow is blocked, the body can no longer maintain the balance that is needed to maintain high energy and deal with health issues. Optimally, dogs who are to receive acupressure have already seen a vet and been diagnosed with a specific condition. Acupressure is not always the first or preferred treatment. Dogs may not tolerate acupuncture well so acupressure is the next alternative. In a few cases, acupressure may be a better option due to the location of the pain or medical condition. Acupressure may be used to improve any of the following issues: Allergies Digestive disorders Anxiety Pain Arthritis Chronic illnesses like liver, kidney, or heart disease Cancer Old age End of life Acupressure targets the same areas that are targeted by acupuncture, but does not require needles. When combined with massage, pets typically tolerate acupressure very well. It's not uncommon for pets to luxuriate in a massage/acupressure session. Such sessions provide both the pet and therapy-provider a wonderful sense of wellbeing and reassurance. Ready to learn more? Grab a copy of this book now.
