Acupressure is the safe, simple, economical & effective way to treat common ailments. One can do self treatment even at home or office if you have the knowledge of acupressure. You must know the indications of acupressure and the technique of acupressure treatment & it's duration. In acupuncture exact location of point is important for pricking of needle but in acupressure, as you are pressing the point with thumb, palm or whatever it is, the point comes under it and it is pressed automatically. |

| It is nothing but acupressure. Acupressure chappals are also marketed. In India many poor people walk bare footed because they do not afford simple chappals or shoes, how they can buy such costly acupressure chappals? For the same effect one can walk on coarse sand. The life span of villagers is more because they walk barefooted. The acupressure points on their feet are being pressed automatically. Unknowingly we are practicing acupressure in day to day life. When you get headache you press or massage the forehead. When you get backache you ask your son or wife to press or massage the painful site. Acupressure is the simplest way to get relief from simple headache to heart attack. Acupressure is a boon for mankind if practised sincerely in day to day life. |
