Alternative Massage Medicine You Can Do At Home by Brian B. Carter, MS, LAc

The key, the thing you can't avoid, and which I can't go into in this small space, is knowing which points you should massage on yourself. The reason it's complicated is the same reason we can call this alternative massage medicine something like a real medicine- because it's personalized to you and your imbalances, and it heals rather than just making you feel better for a little while.

Alternative Medicine Plus the Massage

If you have a minor problem, massaging yourself may be enough. Or it may be something you use only when circumstances dictate- even if you're used to taking herbs or pharmaceuticals, you may find yourself somewhere out of reach of your normal remedies. In this case, it's good already to know some massage medicine you can do on yourself.

But I would emphasize overall that you should work with a professional of some sort - acupuncturist, naturopath, chiropractor - while you learn to take care of yourself. I say this because even as a professional myself who has spent many hours learning healing and trying it out on myself that it is a process... wisdom and knowledge help, but trial and error still plays a role, and real life has so many variables that you never know what you'll need...

So I urge you to add this form of alternative massage medicine to your healing knowledge database (in your brain)... the only hitch? You'll have to buy my book to learn how!
