Nourish Your Skin & Body with Traditional Chinese Medicine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first comment about the book would be - I want more! I wish the book was twice as long and went into greater detail. Having said that it is a great introduction to how Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and philosophies can be applied to taking care of your skin. The information in this book is certainly not limited to use by the trained professional. Anyone interested in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and skincare will find useful information this book.
What made the purchase of this book extremely worthwhile for me was the pressure point massage or the facial acupressure massage as it is called in the book. Each step of the massage is clearly outlined and explained and has an accompanying photo. I tried the massage both on myself and on a client who suffers from acne. As estheticians know a "regular' facial massage might be too stimulating for a client suffering from acne. Estheticians usually do some sort of pressure point massage on clients who have acne. The client that I tried this facial acupressure massage on really enjoyed it and found it very relaxing. I plan on incorporating some of the pressure points from the facial acupressure massage into my "normal" facial massage that I do on most clients.
Though the book is only 162 pages it manages to cover a wealth of topics, briefly, including (but not limited to) the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese herbs (with photos - very helpful), tongue diagnosis, an introduction to acupuncture and facial acupuncture, and recipes for soups that nourish and help the skin.
Bottom Line: A great introduction to how Traditional Chinese Medicine relates to skincare. The facial acupressure massage is wonderful! You don't need to be an esthetician to take advantage of this massage. Anyone can practice on themselves.
