Christopher Starr · Mr TCMBefore you begin
A few good questions.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. Start with the safety pages, the guide to using the book and the first illustrated point lesson. Each point includes finding guidance, a method and cautions. No previous knowledge of TCM is needed.
What is included in the book?
The 112-page, full-colour handbook covers 39 points, six short routines and four body-area guides. It also includes traditional explanations, method notes, a point index, glossary and sources. The format is 8.5 × 11 inches.
Is this a printed book or a download?
The $34.99 USD price is for the printed handbook. The two routine printouts are a separate, free PDF companion available from this page.
How do the videos work?
QR codes in the handbook link to the corresponding point demonstrations. Video access is currently being prepared, so the demonstrations are not yet available to readers.
Where is shipping free?
Standard shipping is free to the United States and Canada. The base price is $34.99 USD; if checkout displays a local currency, the amount is converted. Any applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
Does this replace medical care?
No. This is an educational adult self-care reference. Read the safety pages and each point’s cautions before use. Ask your clinician first if pregnant or if a medical condition may affect safe use, and seek medical advice for new or persistent symptoms.

An educational reference for adult self-care, not a medical treatment plan. Follow the book’s safety guidance, use comfortable pressure and stop if it hurts. Do not use acupressure to delay or replace medical care.
