Facial Reflexology for Emotional Well-Being

“Facial Reflexology for Emotional Well-Being is extremely well written, informative, and quite engaging. As you follow the excellent introduction into the Vietnamese and Chinese medical approach to facial reflexology, you become captivated by the author’s descriptions surrounding its unique history, popularity, and approach to clinical treatment. Alex’s honest and straightforward explanations of these fascinating healing modalities are refreshingly easy to follow, comprehend, and implement. This is a wonderful gift for all future healers who are interested in expanding their knowledge of facial reflexology.” * Professor Jerry Alan Johnson Ph.D., D.T.C.M., D.M.Q. *“Recent discoveries in the field of neurobiology shed scientific light on how this form of facial reflexology can be used to treat chronic stress, PTSD, addiction, and other psychic disorders without the need for debilitating drugs. This book explains how facial reflexology works as an interface between psyche and soma and how the vital energy points on the face may serve as a keyboard to restore balance and harmony to the inner workings of the human mind.” * Daniel Reid, author of The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity *“Having introduced a synthesis of Chinese and Ayurvedic medical approaches in my own work, I highly recommend Alex Scrimgeour’s parallel integration of Vietnamese and Chinese medical approaches in Facial Reflexology for Emotional Well-Being. This outstanding book is a deeply thoughtful presentation of the history and practice of Vietnamese Dien Chan and its Chinese analogs that incorporate other styles of qiqong. It is appropriate for both health care practitioners and the public at large.” * Peter Eckman, M.D., Ph.D., author of The Compleat Acupuncturist *“Alex Scrimgeour beautifully weaves ancient wisdom with practical applications to help people connect with the cosmos and bring their spirit fully within. He eloquently describes the effective practice of Dien Chan that he studied with his master. This book makes a wonderful addition to the various self-care techniques that enhance the spirit and benefit the body’s physiology.” * CT Holman, author of Treating Emotional Trauma with Chinese Medicine *“This book is a treasure that not only shares the exquisite teachings of Dien Chan therapy but also takes us on a journey of holistic healing to our physical, emotional, and mental bodies.” * Jovinna Chan, cofounder of the Pranotthan School of Yoga *
