The author's writing and diagrams are very clear, and so the practice of pressing these points is easy to learn.I have in the past undergone weeks of acupuncture and done some reading about the theory behind it, so the material is not completely new to me.  I do not know whether a regular practice of massaging the 23 points will have a noticeable effect on me -- you cannot just do it once and hope to see a result.  You have to be consistent.  But it worked for the author, who gives a bit about her story, and based on what I know, it can only be helpful.I would suggest that someone interested in pursuing this see an acupuncturist for a few visits and read a bit about acupuncture so that the practice becomes more meaningful.  Or at least ask an acupuncturist to show her the 23 points in person once so you are sure you are doing it correctly.  But even by yourself, you can do it.  I also suggest the daily practice of qigong, another practice that promotes movement of the body's energy.I think the author did an excellent job of sharing the information and am grateful that she did.
