Based on the natural science of Chinese medicine and informed by current scientific research and over twenty years of practical experience, Clive Witham unlocks the secrets to treating others.

As director of the Komorebi Institute and creator of Ecology in Motion, he is a pioneer in Gua sha and has published 6 popular books, including Facial Gua sha, Holographic Gua sha, and Self-Healing with Chinese Medicine.

- Understand Gua sha through historical Chinese medicine sources and modern Western science to help you base your treatments on solid, natural foundations.

- Discover a unique integrated way of approaching Gua sha using the accessible language of the natural world and systematically explore 11 focus areas around the body: head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, abdomen, back, legs, and feet.

- Examine 21 common reasons to treat, with clear practical strategies based on modern Gua sha research and extensive experience, including:
