Holistic medicine has a very special concern - preventing illness and maintaining health. While conventional medicine has a powerful arsenal of weapons to coax the ill body back to health, holistic medicine uses a wider range of therapies which reinforce the body's own defenses to restore balance. Acupuncture and Acupressure have over 4,500 years of recorded healings. This book explains how they work and why, for many kinds of health problems, it is a better healing approach than conventional Western medicine.
