The Healing Power of Acupressure and Acupuncture
<p>I wrote this book out of frustration that millions of people who could be helped by this simple, cost-effective healing system were not taking advantage of it because they knew so little about and it seems so bizarre. Acupuncture is a safe, simple, method of healing that can ease pain and suffering and literally save lives.Matthew D. Bauer <br /><br />
Because no one knows how acupuncture first began, its no wonder that Americans tends 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 Bauer <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
