Needleless Acupuncture


Book Description

I've been fortunate enough to work hand in hand, day in and day out with six different Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors for 5 years in China. In fact, I got the very first License to Practice Medicine as a Foreigner Doctor in the county I worked. Over time I was able to craft the most common acupuncture points that got results for 40 different conditions. What really surprised me was how often patients would come directly to our department for conditions besides neck and back pain; of course not every one got better. This book is not about the history of acupuncture nor an almanac of all the points in the body. What you get are the protocols (actual acupuncture points) needed to try a no needle acupuncture version at your own home for 40 common conditions in as little as 25 minutes. I'll tell you what to use to stimulate the points as well. Look, this book has a reference list of all the points you will need, descriptions on how to find them written for non-doctors and pictures of each point for each condition on actual human diagrams. As in, the headache blueprint has several pictures on a page with the acupuncture points and names clearly shown. You can now go find a description of each point in a different section of the book to make sure you are on the exact spot. Plus, there are quick reference charts for each condition and the acupuncture points listed underneath. Get it today. I even added auricular "ear" points for 30 of the conditions as a bonus Needleless Acupuncture is for you EVEN IF: You tried acupuncture in the past but the bills got to high before you could experience relief. You prefer a natural approach to dealing with your health concerns. There's not an acupuncturist within an hours drive . You need a health tune-up at least every month and it's time to do it with self-care. You already tried chiropractic, physical therapy and massage but you didn't get the results you expected. You might be taking medication but are worried about the side effects and long-term consequences. You are too busy during the day to spend two hours getting treatment at the local clinic. Your health is your priority and you want to try and take care of this on your own. *Doctor's can't make promises and guarantees on results and this book can't either. If any of these sensational headlines about what is inside this book resonate with you and your health, then it should be in your hands.

Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases


Book Description

Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to the clinical application of single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, with a special emphasis on methods and needle techniques. Single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy differs from other forms of acupuncture in that only one point is selected during each session. The single point technique is noted for its quick therapeutic response and exceptional results, despite using far fewer points than traditional acupuncture therapy. It is a simple technique for practitioners to master, and patients are quick to extol the virtues of the single-point approach. Author Dr. Decheng Chen describes in detail how to treat one hundred of the most common clinical ailments, including headaches, neck pain, hypertension, and even the common cold. Dr. Chen uses both Western and traditional Chinese medical theory to describe his treatment methods. Each section consists of an introduction to the disease, a detailed explanation of the needle technique used, a case study of the treatment, and a discussion. With its easy-to-use format and step-by-step instructions, Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is the definitive single point acupuncture guide for teachers, students, and acupuncture practitioners alike.
