Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used with great success on humans for thousands of years, and now acupressure, food, and herbal therapy are finally available to our four-legged friends. Starting with the head and working toward the toes, Four Paws, Five Directions addresses a host of problems that anyone living with an animal companion may encounter. From physical ailments to behavioral concerns, many solutions lie in dietary change or the addition of herbs or acupressure. Practical procedures are outlined in clear, comprehensible language, with assessment worksheets, diagnosis charts, and photographs to assist you in making treatment decisions. Used as either an adjunct to Western Medicine or on its own, Four Paws, Five Directions helps you bring your animal friend's body into balance through a treatment-and-prevention approach that saves you both from undue stress.
