Acupressure is a type of Chinese medicine, a form of reflexotherapy based on stimulating the pressure points located on the meridians of the body. It has been used for over 5,000 years.
Eastern medicine explores the ways that Qi energy flows in the body – the life force with which all living things are filled. These ways are profound in the human body. When energy passes freely along the meridians, a person is healthy. Stagnation of (or excess) energy leads to illness.
Meridians connect internal organs and systems. There are 14 meridians on your body. Each has its name and harmonizing, stimulating and calming points. Stimulating points energize the organs and systems, calming points relieve the nervous state and soothe, and harmonizing points bring balance.
Traditional Chinese medicine affects certain areas on the body's surface to influence the state of the meridians, to remove obstacles from the path of Qi energy. These areas are located along the paths of energy flow and are also called biologically active. It is possible to apply pressure, moxibustion, magnetotherapy, acupuncture, and acupressure.
Acupressure points (biologically active points, BAP) are located throughout the body. Many of them are on the feet, palms, and ears. They are also found on the legs, arms, chest, back and head. There are 350 of them in total. By increasing the energy flow through them, we return natural balance to the body.
Modern researchers explain the effectiveness of this ancient science with increased blood flow and stimulation of nerve receptors in the affected area. This leads to the release of joy hormones and powerful natural analgesics, which in turn relieve pain.
Acupuncture uses fine needles that are inserted under the skin. The impact is profound and precise.
A specialist must have an appropriate license. It is not recommended to independently insert needles under the skin – this is dangerous due to the appearance of bruises, bleeding, and damage to the nerves.
It is not suitable if the patient has blood diseases, infections, and blood-borne diseases.
Acupressure therapy uses thumb and forefinger pressure instead of needles. This method is softer and safer.
It is easier to master it on your own to relieve your pain and that of your loved ones with the help of a pleasant massage.
Acupressure has fewer side effects and can be combined with other treatments.
