In modern sedentary life, body stiffness, insomnia, anxiety, high BP, headache, migraine, neck and back pain are very common and generally, we just go for a pain killer or any other medicine to get relief. Did you know that your body has secret points which can help you getting rid of day to day acute or chronic issues. Massaging these points for few minutes can actually give you instant relief. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chinese medical practices of acupuncture and acupressure have a lot of real-world proponents. It is confirmed by many universities and TCM hospitals all over the world that using pressure points will “improve the physiological function of the body” and “promote the natural process of self-healing by inducing specific areas of the body. Applying pressure on these acupoints results in release of good hormones like serotonin which are anti-inflammatory and natural pain killers.
These target areas on your body are called acupoints or acupressure points and they can be stimulated in different ways for healing purposes. In the case of acupuncture, these pressure points are stimulated with a very thin needle. But that’s not necessarily for everyone. Acupressure, however, is simply the practice of using firm pressure to massage the acupoints. Believe it or not, there is mounting research evidence out there to back up the idea that manipulating these pressure points has the ability to change everything.
