What is Acupressure?

 Acupressure is an age-old Chinese technique. It involves the
use of pressure of the fingers on a particular point on the
body. Acupressure uses the same principle as acupuncture, but in
acupuncture needles are used while in acupressure fingers are
used to release the blocked energy centers. Acupressure
activates the body's own energy to fight against the body's
ailments. 

While pressure is put in the body it helps in removing the
blocks and creates energy. Acupressure is almost like
traditional massage, but specific points are massaged in a
circular motion. The massage is done through rubbing, vibration
etc for 5-10 minutes. Acupressure is a very powerful technique
and most of the ailments are relieved by it. Acupressure
promotes calmness and relaxes the body. Don't apply too much
pressure during treatment. The healing process through
Acupressure is quite quick and you can feel the energy flow in a
matter of few minutes. The pressure applied on a certain
position helps in removing the toxins and makes the blood flow
smoothly. Unlike acupuncture, there are no needles used in
acupressure. A person himself can perform acupressure and no
other equipments are required. Acupressure can be learnt from an
experienced practitioner and as such there are no side effects
to it. If acupressure is performed in the right way it could
prove to be very beneficial. Blood circulation improves and the
immune system gets strengthened and promotes a healthy body,
mind and soul.
