Acupressure is an ancient traditional healing science in which pain and discomfort are understood to be
signs of energy imbalance, which becomesan illness. Acupressure approaches this energy imbalancewith
acupressure points which are located on Meridian, or subtle energy channels that run throughoutthe
body and connect all parts of the body. This can be compared to the vital energy concept innaturopathy.
When vital energy circulates freely within the body without any obstruction, it fills upevery cell with
fresh oxygen and an ample amount of blood supply which improves overall functioning ofthe body and
relieves pain/discomfort. In a way, acupressure helps to remove the obstruction in the flow ofvital energy
and enhances vitality.
Acupressure involves the application of manual pressure usually with fingertips or with the help of
someinstruments to specific points on the body to relieve pain/discomfort, to improve qualityof sleep, to
improve metabolism, to enhance immunity,and to maintain health and wellness.
Acupressure helps in restoring harmony naturally. The obstructed energy can be corrected byincreasing
the flow of energy to various organs through acupressure. On the body surface, there areacupressure points
called push buttons or trigger points. On stimulating these points energy balance isrestored. Acupressure
improves the circulation and hence the functions of all organs. Acupressure helpsin releasing nervous
tension and revitalizes the hidden strength in the body.
Acupressure can be given along the spine using a pointed gadget. Areas like fingers, toes, upper portionof
hands and feet, and back side of the knee should be pressed by thumb and fingers. The pressure shouldbe
gentle but reasonably firm.
