Acupressure Treatment
Acupressure
is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago
that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin
to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. It is a
science that deals with the human body and the flow of natural
energy within the body. When these points are pressed, they release
muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's
life force energy to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use
the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure
uses gentle but firm pressure. It is a science, and there is nothing
supernatural or magical about acupressure. This medical science is
practiced with the use of only one human tool: the thumb. Pressure
is applied on different 'pressure points' on the body, stimulating
the corresponding glands of the body.
Advantages of using acupressure
include relieving pain, balancing the body and maintaining good
health. The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases
circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving
stress, acupressure strengthens resistance to disease and promotes
wellness.
