Which are the top five acupuncture points? Find out which points are the most commonly used. Understanding all the functions of the points helps to understand how acupuncture works to treat disease. This book is an excerpt of the book Acupuncture Points Handbook.
It's kind of "listy" and just summarizes all the things that five points on thr body treat, but, I wish there was more detail about how/why it works, along with its significance relative to her larger book and history of the practice. For example, I wish the points were described in a way that deeply convinces/changes my belief that massaging that specific point leads to x benefits. My greatest takeaway was that the practice sees the kidneys as one of, if not the most important part of the body because its disarray can cause fatigue. However, as always, I enjoyed that this summary book could be read in one sitting.
This is a quick reference to the most commonly used acupuncture points, from Deborah Bleecker's perspective. There are clear diagrams and explanations for how to find the points, and a list of the ailments each point treats.
Definitely a worthwhile resource to have to hand or in your phone.
