The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2026

Because no one knows how acupuncture first began, it's no wonder that Americans tend to be skeptical about the practice. But as difficult as it may be for many to believe, acupuncture has the potential to be an effective form of therapy in virtually every area of medicine. A well-trained acupuncturist can treat a wider variety of patients than practically any other type of healthcare professional. In his new book, The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture: A Complete Guide to Timeless Traditions and Modern Practice, renowned acupuncturist Matthew D. Bauer delves into the roots of acupuncture to offer the first comprehensive theory about the genesis of Chinese medicine, and offers practical information on how to obtain the most help from this ancient healing system. Adopting a unique and essential three-tiered approach, The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture covers the development of acupressure and acupuncture under the Eastern methods of science, describes simple acupressure methods that readers can employ on themselves, and explains how acupuncture's ability to stimulate self-healing, used alone or with Western therapies, can help cure dozens of health problems—many of which modern medicine alone is powerless to help! Readers will learn how to: · Effectively treat migraines, lower pack pain, asthma, allergies, stress, and more · Find the right practitioner · Balance their qi Acupuncture is based on the theory that there is an invisible force or energy in nature that the Chinese call qi. In a manner similar to blood circulation, qi flows to each cell via a complex network of pathways usually called "channels" or "meridians." If qi gets stuck, it causes an imbalance as upstream cells are flooded with too much qi and downstream cells receive too little. Acupuncture points are those spots where qi has the greatest tendency to get stuck; hence stimulating them with needles (acupuncture) or finger pressure (acupressure) helps free stuck qi and restore normal circulation. Once normal qi circulation is restored, the cells eventually return to their normal, healthy state.
