About This Treatment
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press potent points on the whole-body surface. It works by stimulating the body's self-curative abilities. Acupressure mainly focuses on relieving pain and discomfort as well as on responding to tension 4 before it develops into a "dis-ease". When the key points of the body are pressed, they promote the circulation of the blood and release muscular tension. In Acupressure, it is said that pain is the cry of hungry nerve for the want of better blood supply. The main advantage of acupressure healing touch is that it is safe on others, even if it is never done before provided the instructions are followed and cautions are kept in mind. There are no side effects from drugs and the basic equipment needed for it are individuals own two hands. Thus, acupressure therapy can be practiced anywhere and anytime. A needle-free therapy where firm finger or palm pressure is applied to specific energy points, releasing tension, improving circulation and relieving pain — a gentler alternative to acupuncture.
