Seitai (Lymphatic) Shiatsu, Cupping and Gua Sha

A healthy lymphatic system is an important prerequisite for a well-functioning immune system. This book will show you how to vitalize the lymphatic system using techniques from Asian medicine. Shiatsu, Gua Sha and cupping therapy are particularly important techniques. The author also gives interesting insights into the dynamic physiological properties of the omentum, the peritoneal layer surrounding the abdominal organs.
Of particular interest is how Richard Gold succeeds in combining Western theories of the immune system with Asian bodywork, which focuses on abdominal treatment. Thanks to its many years of experience in East Asian and integrative medicine, Gold can provide valuable advice for students and practitioners who want to deepen their knowledge of Asian healing modalities and lymphatic techniques.
