Description
Book Acupressure and Moxibustion 108 pages German, by Stux G. 2012
Acupressure is an important branch of Chinese medicine that is thousands of years old. Chinese medicine has become known in Western hospitals primarily through acupuncture, especially through its spectacular effects in pain therapy for chronic diseases and in anesthesia for operations on awake patients.
Acupressure is the targeted massage of acupuncture points, which has a healing effect on mild and moderate illnesses and disorders. Acupressure has been used for self-treatment since ancient times and today occupies an important place in the medical care of the population in the People's Republic of China. In recent years, the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine have also been recognized in the West, which is why acupuncture and acupressure are attracting increasing interest.
Acupressure is free of side effects and therefore offers advantages over conventional painkillers, which are often associated with side effects. Moxibustion, the warming of acupuncture points to increase the body's strength in cases of weakness, is also an important branch of Chinese medicine.
Moxibustion can be carried out by the patient after consultation with the attending physician. The teaching concept for acupressure presented here is based on the experience gained from the teaching of hundreds of doctors in Germany and Asia in the field of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in particular. Only the most important diseases and health disorders are presented in this acupressure book.
