Illustrated Treatment for Migraine using Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Tuina Massage

Opening with an explanation of migraine and its different forms and symptoms as understood in Chinese medicine, the book explains every part of the treatment process, from diagnosis, locating relevant acupoints and deciding which needle to use, and explains every step for all three forms of treatments. Matching symptoms to treatment in individual cases, the authors discuss tuina manipulations, and show how to use these to relieve pain. Typical cases are then explained and effective treatments described, and these are summarised for ease of use. A final section outlines precautions that should be taken, and the book is accompanied by a DVD which complements the text, demonstrating exactly how to carry out these treatments.

This book will be essential reading for any Chinese Medicine practitioner looking to treat migraine.
