图书简介

The title purports to introduce Gua Sha to the general public as an effective yet safe therapeutic protocol with a short learning curve, making it an extremely appropriate form of home-based treatment. The treatment is deliberated at three different levels of proficiency — plane, line and point, that correspond to myofascial, meridian and acupoint treatment, the last which effectively transforms Gua Sha into a non-invasive, needleless form of acupuncture. Conceptualized with a utilitarian resolve, this title spared little effort in covering the historic aspect of the subject matter unless it is essential foundation knowledge. Organized in three parts, the first section of the book helps build a theoretical framework for the reader by introducing TCM theories relevant to the subject. Building on this foundation, the next segment on Treatment Protocols presents the practice aspects of the subject that lay further groundwork for the chapter on Applications. In the final part on Applications, the nature of common disorders is deliberated from both contemporary medicine and TCM perspectives before touching on the treatment protocol, execution caveat and other considerations. Key Features: oWritten in concise non-technical language. Does not require reader to have prior knowledge of the subject oFor ease of reading, the subject is presented in bite-size topics with technical terms duly explained in plain language within the same topic space oDividing the subject into bite-size topics also permits the reader to selectively explore the subject from multiple points of entry oAlthough written for the general public, it comes with a comprehensive compilation of relevant published findings from scientific journals that serves as a convenient source of reference for practitioners oRelevant TCM terminologies, names of physicians and their works in Chinese are unequivocally appended within the text after their English translations for ease of reference
