Acupuncture Points Handbook: A Patient's Guide to the Locations and Functions of over 400 Acupuncture Points (Natural Medicine)

Good book. Lot's of information in it.

The only book that I need for personal acupuncture! I have several other books but seldom use it them. This one is complete.

It was difficult to pick out a book on Amazon to learn about acupressure and the various points as a newbie. This book was a home run! There is a nice introduction that works well at explaining things in simple terms, including how to do it and other relevant things. The bulk of the book is about the various points, where they are with good diagrams and telling what they affect. For a moment I was worried that there was no listing of various health concerns that showed what points to utilize for them, but then I took a look at the index and it is all there. This book has it all and it will be a long while before I need a book that goes into more depth. I can do a lot with the information in this book alone. If you are new to this and want a great book that is comprehendable and comprehensive, this is the one you want. Nice job Ms. Bleecker!

The book would be good but the Kindle edition offers no way to locate anything in it!. So I returned it and bought the paper book. Chapters 2 & 3 explain simply and clearly how to locate points and do acupressure. The main part of the book is a reference, with the index just giving a list of page numbers for each issue you would treat. Point locating is described using medical terminology to I had to look up “Anatomical terms of location” on the online Wikipedia to figure that out, and I do not know the medical terminology for bones and tendons etc. that she uses so I just have to rely on the pictures. Mostly it’s a good book though that information should have been included in the book.

Great book!! I went to several acupuncturists in the past and liked them very much, but could not continue because they were either too far from where I live or too costly. Therefore, I wanted to learn and do acupressure at home on my own. It took me a while to decide which book would suit me best, and glad I chose this one. 1st part of the book, which goes through pg34, is introduction and explanation of how acupuncture and acupressure works, and from pg35 through pg253, it shows each points with illustration and what those points are good for. I like the fact that the first part is brief, yet interesting and easy to read, and the book seems to focus mainly on showing you the points you can work on. I liked the book soo much I bought another one to give to my mom for her birthday.

Deborah Bleecker's book, Acupuncture Points Handbook, is very clear, well organized and very useful. It has great diagrams of each of the meridians and she locates the points so that even I can find them. Very helpful explanations of the functions and common usages of all the points, especially the major points. You can look up most any problem or situation in the index and you are directed to the appropriate points and meridians. I am enjoying it because it is so easy to understand. Great book to have if you want to understand and know where the meridians and points are and what their function is.

This book is not so easy to comprehend unless you already know a fair amount about the acupuncture points. Not so easy to locate common problems and solutions. A good guide for a student of the subject.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR HELPING YOU TO SELF-TREAT AND HEAL YOURSELF. ONCE EVERYTHING CRASHES YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD A BOOK LIKE THIS! THIS IS A BOOK THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE! ONCE YOU ACTIVATE THE PRESSURE POINT ON YOUR BODY IT WILL RESPOND AND HEALING AND WELLNESS BEGIN. YOU MUST LEARN THIS SYSTEM OF HEALING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND YOU HAVE ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE BUT COULD HAVE HAD SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR SURVIVAL TEAM! ONCE THE MEDS, VITAMINS, AND ELECTRICITY IS GONE YOU WILL STILL HAVE 400 POINTS OF HEALING AND WELLNESS TO KEEP HEALTHY...BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PRAY THE PRAYER OF FAITH IT WILL SUPERSEED TOUCHING 10,000 PRESSURE POINTS...GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL AND IF YOU KNOW HOW TO HEAL THE SICK THAT IS THE VERY BEST WAY TO GO AND YOU NEVER NEED TO WORRY ABOUT BUYING THIS BOOK...SO, IT IS A GREAT BOOK TO HAVE B/C MOST HAVE NEVER LEARNED HOW TO HEAL THE SICK...OR PRAY THE PRAYER OF FAITH!

Going through each point and the meridians

I purchased this book because I want to learn about meridian and holistic ways to heal and treat the body. The book is well organized and shows the main acupuncture/acupressure points that can be stimulated along the meridians and the effects they have. It is well illustrated with precise and reliable drawings that are easy to follow and go back to for reference. It is a solid introduction to acupuncture points that can also be applied to acupressure, body tapping etc.

This book has many good illustrations and drawings showing the locations of the acupoints. However each point is referred by their conventional reference nos rather than by names. We address each point here by their names, hence need to use another acupunture book for cross reference. More values could be enhanced into this book by: 1. Showing the big picture of meridians of the body in a chart. 2. Good to have the names of the acupoints next to their reference no. eg: LI4 Hegu. Or a reference list of acupoints and their names at end of book. 3. An anatomy chart since vertebrae, and bones are mentioned. I will not recommend my friend to buy this book.

An excellent book, easy to read and understand.

Good and informative. Easy to understand. Lots of information. Would recommend.
