Helps to restore the energy flow of the body to influence and improve well-being.
This traditional Chinese medicine practice helps by treating qi, or blocked energy. Acupressure works by applying pressure through the tools of hands and fingers to specific points of the body. It is not the same as acupuncture which uses needles..Acupressure helps treat and relieve pains, arthritis, and stress. are different explanations to how acupressure works. Some experts believe the pressure releases endorphins into the body, while others believe it influences the autonomic nervous system.
According to traditional Chinese medicine experts, acupressure points lie along and activate our meridians. Meridians are invisible pathways of energy that flow within our body. If a meridian has any blocked energy, it is thought to cause health problems. Acupressure releases these blockages of energy and helps return the body to its natural flow of energy.
Acupressure also has physiological benefits by increasing capillarisation and cellular exchange. Capillarisation is stimulated when applying pressure to a point of the body. This brings a new resurgence of blood flow as well as increasing the amount of oxygen to the body tissue. With this increase of blood flow, cellular exchange is promoted as new cells with oxygen and nutrients replace the metabolic waste and toxins.
Acupressure can be used when experiencing different conditions such as insomnia, headaches, muscle pain, tension, fatigue and nausea. It can be especially helpful when we need to feel more balanced. It can be used when travelling and feeling motion sickness. It is also helpful when recovering from physical injury. By applying pressure to scar tissue or a point of pain, acupressure increases blood stimulation and the temperature of the muscle, causing it to relax.
Acupressure is a great way to stimulate the energy in your body and promote blood circulation, improving your health and overall well-being.
