simple yet comprehensive - By: , 09 Sep 2003 
If you don't have any books on alternative therapies get this one. Covers a range of methods including pressure point therapy, reflexology & general health recommendations. I have used it several times (mainly for pain relief) & have found it very effective. Authoritative yet simple. Not really the book for expertsin pressure points, unless you were reviewing it to reccommend to patients.
