Acupressure
Acupressure Treatment is one of the oldest types of treatment and is practised for more than a thousand years in China. Over time this ancient form of therapy has been perfected and is used as an alternate form of medicine across the world. In some cases and in some countries, the treatment and therapies have advanced to such levels that it is being used as a frontline medicine in most cases. Acupressure Treatment follows the same procedure of acupuncture treatment minus the needles.
Your body consists of pressure points that are believed to channel energy and positive vibrations throughout the body. Activating them further can treat you and can be beneficial to you in curing a broad range of ailments. The therapist works on this pressure point by using his fingers or his hands to give you the effects of the treatment. The goal of the therapist is to restore the healthy balance of your body and to regulate the opposing forces of positive energy and the negative energy. In Chinese vocabulary, this is referred to as Ying and Yang. These massages are aimed at increasing the blood circulation, releasing tension and in the stimulation of endorphins.
What is the difference between acupuncture and acupressure?
In an acupuncture treatment, the doctor inserts a hair-thin needle gently and painlessly into acupuncture points along your body's meridians (or energy lines). Whereas, in acupressure, the doctor uses their fingers rather than needles to apply pressure on the points.
According to a licensed acupuncturist “Acupuncture provides the quickest and most efficient pathways for energy, blood, and information to go from one portion of the body to another.
Acupuncture and acupressure both change our chemical and hormonal signaling systems, which release muscle tension and stop the pain. Migraines, arthritis, intestinal difficulties, menstruation irregularities, insomnia, and exhaustion are just a few of the ailments that the therapies can help with.
