Acupressure and acupuncture are both practiced in hospitals and clinics throughout China and, along with herbs, form the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupressure, which somewhat resembles massage, was developed over 5000 years ago. Both acupuncture and acupressure use the same pressure points and meridians, but acupuncture employs needles and acupressure uses finger pressure. By pressing key healing points with the fingers, the therapist is able to release tension, increase circulation, reduce pain, and enhance the body’s life force energy. Acupressure addresses problems of aging, degeneration and female problems, while massage is mainly used for relaxation.

Acupressure is based on the same beliefs of acupuncture, that health is determined by CHI, a vital life energy that flows throughout every human being. This energy is thought to move through the body along pathways called meridians, each of which is linked to a specific organ. Acupressure seeks to equalize the balances of YIN, YANG, and CHI through external methods and in turn improve the health of your body. Who needs Acupressure? Acupressure is used to remedy a variety of health problems, including any type of physical pain, addiction and mental disorder. How is Acupressure administered? Acupressure uses finger and hand pressure to stimulate specific meridians that link to various organs, in order to promote blood flow and improve circulation. During pressure stimulation, neurotransmitters which help inhibit reception and transmission of pain are released. Treatment by a skilled practitioner will leave you feeling energetic and healthy as your normal flow of CHI is restored. Acupressure therapy supplements- Although acupressure and herb logy are two different branches of Chinese medicine, they both treat diseases and are often used simultaneously in clinical practice. The practitioner may recommend taking herbal teas and suggest specific lifestyle changes and exercises.
