    I can't say enough about how helpful and enlightening this book is for someone who uses gua sha. Even though I'm an acupuncturist, and already familiar with acupoints, there's so much to learn from this book. I show it to my patients who are using gua sha for the first time on themselves. They think it is very interesting and the photos are so great. The instructions are simple enough to apply and the book is well made for lots of handling and flipping through. Highly recommend this book both for personal and professional use.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    The instructions are clear and the accompanying pictures make picking up this technique easier, but it would be way easier to have some knowledge of TCM and/or acupuncture going into it. You don’t NEED this kind of background to learn the techniques, but all the names of the points are otherwise unfamiliar Chinese names which may take some time to learn too. I’m not saying that to deter anyone from buying this book because it really is fantastic , I’m just giving a heads up.
