Healing side of something that translates literally to death touch? You might be better off looking for someone who teaches acupuncture, or shiatsu massage, that's the closest I can think of.

You will generaly find that if a teacher teaches Di-Mak then they will be well versed in the healing side as well. You are not supposed to learn one without the other.

According to Yang Jwing-Ming thats not the translation. He had a few based on different characters, none of which where anything close to Death touch. But my books at the school and I can't give a better answer then that.

But regardless it wasn't something used for healing.

I'm assuming he meant Dim mak, or di-mak is an alternate pronuciation, or a mispronunciation.

I know of a publisher that sells books on many martial arts including dim-mak, sadly Im not making any money off advertising them so Id rather not let the info out publicly and have millions of people reading a book that teaches a person about the vital points of the human body.

If one regards dim-mak as being the manipulation of qi/ki to make a person unwell, then surely the healing side of it is simply any of the therapies that purport to manipulate qi to make a person better, eg. acupuncture, shiatsu, an-mo, reiki, qi gong etc.

On the other hand if you regard dim-mak as being the study of how to best physically traumatise the human body, well there isn't a healing side to that.
