Acupressure is an ancient massage technique employed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The objective of acupressure, along with other therapies in Chinese Medicine, is to stimulate the flow of “Qi” (vital energy) along the 14 meridians or channels throughout the body. These energy meridians and acupoints are identical to the one that acupuncture focuses on. According to Chinese Medicine theory, the continuous circulation of “Qi” through these channels is crucial for maintaining one's health. If there is an obstruction in the flow of energy, the body's ability to sustain the equilibrium required for optimal energy levels and address health concerns is compromised. The meridians originate at your fingertips, connect to your brain, and then connect to an organ linked to a given meridian.
Acupressure involves applying pressure to certain acupuncture points to facilitate the unobstructed movement of energy through the channels. Acupressure is a technique similar to acupuncture, where the individual applies pressure using their fingers instead of needles to stimulate certain points on the body.
Acupressure is believed to alleviate various ailments, including motion sickness, headaches, and muscle discomfort. There is a belief that the pressure can induce the secretion of endorphins. These are endogenous analgesic compounds within the body.
Some individuals believe that the pressure could potentially impact the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary physiological processes such as cardiac function, digestion, and respiration.
