Acupressure
"There is but one temple in the Universe and that is the Human Body. Nothing is holier than that high form. We touch Heaven when we lay our hands upon Human Body." __ Thomas Carlyle, Scottish Philosopher.

What is Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient scientific healing art of staying healthy and treating diseases by applying pressure on specific acupoints. Acupressure is needleless Acupuncture. Widely used Acupressure is of two types i.e. Reflexology Acupressure and Meridian Acupressure. In Reflexology Acupressure, pressure is given on the points in both the hands/palms and the feet. In Meridian Acupressure, specific acupoints on the skin of body parts are pressed.
How to do it
Pressure is given rhythmically with pumping method i.e. pressing an acupoint for 10 seconds with thumb/finger/jimmy and relax the acupoint for 5 seconds. This is one round of pressing and relaxing on a particular acupoint/reflex point. This is to be repeated 4 to 5 times on each acupoint in one sitting. At the end of one Acupressure Session, please press in the middle of both palms. Acupoints are to be pressed in this manner on both sides of the body, left and right hand, and left and right leg/foot, except acupoint on CV(in front body midline) and GV(in back body midline) Meridians. For better results, Acupressure is to be taken/given twice-thrice a day. No acupoint is to be pressed upto 1-2 hours after taking full meal. It can be taken after tea/coffee/snacks/light breakfast. Please don't take a bath/wash hands and feet and also don't take cold drinks/water upto 20-30 minutes after taking acupressure for various health problems. These acupressure points can be used while taking/not taking any type of other treatment or for general fitness.
How it works
Acupressure is safe and effective way to be healthy. By pressing on acupoints, blocked energy is released and in turn physical-mental-emotional discomfort is eased.
