52 acupoints provide self-help for common complaints - travel sickness, colds, backache - one for each week of the year, season by season, with images and ideas for a richer, healthier life.
Framed within the Five Element model, this book takes a refreshing look at the healing principles of Chinese medicine and gives key acupoints for each week of the year.
The author journeys through the seasons of the Five Elements and looks at the physical, emotional and spiritual associations of key acupoints. Exploring each acupoints' name, function, and healing use, it offers practical benefits to the reader - ranging from helping with a sense of smell, to aiding a good sense of humour.
With descriptions and images that capture the spirit of each season, and photographs of the point locations, this book is perfect for anyone interested in a different view of the body and its healing relation across the year, as well as students and practitioners of Chinese medicine looking for deep and memorable insight into their work.
