Book excerpt: Acupressure, the practice of applying finger pressure to specific pressure points throughout the body, has been used for thousands of years to relieve pain, promote relaxation, and heal illness. This card deck shows readers how to use acupressure techniques on themselves or others to naturally alleviate physical and emotional conditions from PMS, to migraines, to carpal tunnel syndrome. Each individual card has a photo that identifies each pressure point or massage technique so that the reader can execute it easily and conveniently while in action. On the flip side, the card explains the technique for stimulating the point to relieve pain, and heal discomfort. Introduction cards explain the history of acupressure and the philosophy behind it.
