Hand Reflexology & Acupressure: A Natural Way to Health through Traditional Chinese Medicine

Hand reflexology and acupressure make the hand the focus of a traditional approach to pressure-based self-care. This illustrated guide introduces the method step by step: first explaining its concepts and techniques, then showing how meridians, acupoints, and reflex areas are located on the hand.

From there, the book turns to condition-by-condition reference material, with guidance organized across a wide range of health topics. Its practical orientation and clear structure make it easy to look up a subject of interest while learning the basic vocabulary and hand-pressure methods described by the authors.

Start with the hand’s map

A broad, organized reference

This arrangement offers a clear route into the material without requiring readers to start at the beginning every time.
