Acupressure is the art of massaging the acupoints on the body either with the hands or with a massage tool.
It can be performed by a practitioner like myself, a family member or yourself.
This practice can be very helpful to someone suffering, for instance, an acute attack of rhinitis, clogged nasal passages, headache, menstrual cramps, indigestion, fainting, etc. I can help you learn how to do your own Acupressure as part of your treatment.
“Acupressure is an effective form of stimulation used to help relax the muscles. If done regularly, this method of self-massage can sustain improvement and minimize recurrence of symptoms. Be patient and consistent when practicing acupressure. A simple way to stimulate acupoints is to press firmly with a finger in a rotary movement or an up-and-down movement for several minutes at a time.
Acupressure, like acupuncture, is essentially a method of sending a signal to the body (by needle or other means) to “turn on” its own self-healing or regulatory mechanisms. Normally, Qi (vital energy) circulates through natural pathways in the body called meridians. Blockage of this flow or an imbalance in Yin and Yang can cause illness and pain. Acupressure helps to correct functional imbalances and restore the flow thus returning the body to a more natural state of well-being.”
