Great new edition
This edition has been phenomenally improved! I owned the original published more than thirty years ago. The photos and illustrations clearly demonstrate various tests, point locations, acupressure principles, etc. The binding and protective cover have been completely redesigned. This manual contains a wealth of proactive health balancing and maintainence information, well organized for those who are being first introduced to the system. The acupressure sections of the book contain a wealth of traditional and innovative new information presented clearly and concisely. Highly recommended.

Great book!!
I have had no training in 'Touch For Health' and I am finding the book really easy to grasp and to put into practice. It is well written, the colour pictures are great (there's lots of them too) and there are some useful explanation's of what the 5 Elements and meridians are and how they relate to health etc.
