Q:What is acupressure?how does it work? A: Acupressure is applied to acupuncture points by the hand, elbow, or with various devices;Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet). Some of the most common acupressure techniques are: Rubbing, Kneading, Percussion and Vibration. According to the principles of TCM, qi flows through the body via 14 meridians ;There are four to five hundred named acupoints along the meridians, some of which are associated with specific internal organs or organ systems. If you are suffering from nausea,press the acupoint on your wrist, acupressure stimulates the body’s internal regulatory system and help releasing muscular tension and promoting the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing. Common Benefits: • Relieve stress and tension • Relax mind and body • Increase blood circulation • Aid in the removal of toxic wastes • Provide relief from head, neck and shoulder aches • Promote the healing of injuries • Increase energy levels • Increase overall feeling of well-being • Decreasing labor pains Half the meridians are yin, which they say seems to correspond to the parasympathetic nervous system. In this theory stimulating these meridians leads to relaxation, a slower heart, reduced blood pressure, muscular release,etc. The other half of the meridians are therefore yang, which is said to produce increased sympathetic nervous system activity - tension, a faster heart beat, higher blood pressure, and more contraction in the muscles.Acupoint Therapy focuses on bringing the yin and yang (parasympathetic and sympathetic) back into balance.
