Acupressure therapy
Acupressure therapy is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), used to promote wellness and alleviate various ailments. It involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints, which correspond to energy pathways, or meridians. The goal is to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, balance the flow of energy (Qi), and restore harmony in the body.
Acupressure can help relieve stress, pain, headaches, and tension, while also improving circulation, digestion, and sleep. It is often used for conditions such as back pain, migraines, arthritis, and anxiety. Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles, acupressure relies on finger pressure, making it a non-invasive and accessible form of therapy.
Key acupressure points, such as the “LI4” (Hegu) located between the thumb and index finger, are commonly used to relieve headaches and stress.
“PC6” (Neiguan) on the wrist helps with nausea and anxiety.
This therapy is considered safe and effective for most people, though it’s important to consult with a trained practitioner for best results. Acupressure offers a natural, drug-free approach to holistic health, providing a gentle yet powerful way to improve well-being and reduce discomfort.
