Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain, treat diseases and maintain the balance required for a healthy and pleasant life.
The human body has “meridians” that carry energy throughout the body. These meridians start at the fingertips, connect to the brain, and then connect to the organ associated with the specific meridian.
There is a massive amount of scientific data that demonstrates why and how acupressure is effective.
Acupressure is the most effective method for treatment by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand.
It deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts and it balances the vital life forces of the body.
Acupressure practitioners use their fingers, palms, elbows or feet, or special devices to apply pressure to acupoints on the body's meridians. Sometimes, acupressure also involves stretching or acupressure massage, as well as other methods.
A session typically lasts about one hour. You may need several sessions for the best results.
Acupressure uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. This treatment involves stimulating the vital-energy points along the meridians on our body to effect maximum energy flow.
Senior therapists can transmit the vital energy (external qi) to another person.
Medical services around the world have adopted reflexology and acupressure techniques to treat various problems since they can relieve pain and a variety of diseases that our bodies suffer from.
Every point has specific therapeutic effects on the related organ. By massaging these points, the corresponding body area receives specific therapeutic treatment. It can be used to treat internal organ diseases, relieve internal discomfort, and relax yourself; or to promote overall well-being of the body.
Western scientists have shown that many of these points are located at key crossways of the autonomic nervous system. This may explain why they can affect pain that the patient experiences in a part of the body far from where the pressure is applied.
