Accupressure or Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine, A treatment of
symptoms by applying physical pressure with the fingers of hand to specific
pressure points on the body to treat ailments such as arthritis, tension and
stress, aches and pains and menstrual cramps. It is a three thousand year old
Chinese system of healing and pain relief. Pain relief is believed to be
accomplished by stimulating or sedating the selected acupuncture points. This
process is also used in general preventative health care. It is helpful to
restore a healthy energy balance. Acupuncture is also used to improve well-being
and to treat acute, chronic and degenerative conditions.
In Accupressure before you located the point, your fingers are comfortably
positioned right on the spot gradually lean your weight towards the point to
apply the pressure. Using the weight of your upper body enables you to apply
firm pressure without strain. To stimulate an acupoint properly, you must apply
deep probing pressure. Try the next point or points until you find one that
does. It is important not to just rub the skin over the area but to apply firm
downwards pressure with your thumb, knuckle or elbow. When using your thumbs,
the pressure needs to come from your arm rather than the thumb joint, otherwise
the support person will end up with sore thumbs.
The benefits of acupressure's healing touch is that it is also safe to do by
yourself and with others - Even if you've never done it before - so as long as
you follow the guidelines and pay attention to the precautions. There are no
side effects by drugs, because here is no drugs at all. And the only thing
needed are your hands. You can also practice acupressure therapy at any time,
anywhere. Additional advantages include an increase in vitality, relaxation,
presence, naturalness and clarity within the mind, emotions and body of
the recipient.
