Acupressure
Acupressure is a practice that originated from Chinese medicine. Pressure is applied to specific points of the body to stimulate meridians, the energy pathways, to enhance the flow of energy to organs and throughout the body. This process has been used to restore balance in a variety of ways, such as treating diseases, addictions, infertility, decreasing pain, and promoting overall wellness. Acupressure can be applied in different forms; it may be manual manipulation, or by creating suction, or placing heated herbs above specific acupoints. Typically, acupressure treatment does not cause the patient pain or discomfort.
