Looking for "easy to read" acupressure chart...I had someone out to take a look at Gypsy for me and he used acupressure and also did a hair sample on her. I won't get the results from that back for a couple weeks, but while I am waiting, he wants me to do some acupressure on her. He showed me what points to focus on, and what to do, but I want to make sure I am in the right spots. I need a simple chart. All I have looked at are very in depth, and coded with codes I don't understand.There is a spot just above her shoulder, below the withers. Slide your hand down/over clockwise 3 points, and it's there. This one was the most reactive. Poop, licking, chewing, then dropped head and huge sigh. (heart) This spot was the one I told him I felt heat from. The others he wants me to focus on were.... 1 point on the inside of her legs just in front of the chestnut. 3 points around the coronary band. 1 point in the very middle of her foot just on top/between the heal bulbs. and 1 just above where her knee bends, find the indent under the muscle, and stay there once her leg relaxes. You know how when someone is in front of you and talking you "think" you got it? Then they leave, and you wish they were there. LOL So, I came home and started looking for charts to explain things and what the points represent. Not as simple as I thought it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I use the "Equine Acupressure, A Working Manual" by Tallgrass Publishers, LLC. Designed and written as an introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine for the layman. Good charts. Clear explanations. I highly recommend it. I suggest you get the manual with ring binder rather than typical book binding. Makes it easier to use in the field. |
