A discussion of the various touching techniques is also included. The third section, Balance, shows you specific acupressure techniques for over 150 common ailments, including allergies, arthritis, asthma, colds, fatigue, hay fever, headaches, high blood pressure, sciatica, and more. Throughout the book, the authors provide insights, advice, and practical tips based upon their own years of experience. When properly done, shiatsu is a safe and effective means of easing pain. It can also create a feeling of well-being, vitality, and relaxation. It requires no special equipment, and it can be done anywhere, at any time.
