Facts About Use Of Acupressure Treatment

By Cherry Mercer


For centuries now, acupressure treatment has been successfully used to heal a wide range of disorders. This art borrows heavily from Chinese traditional medicine. Every living thing possesses energy, which is distributed throughout the body through twelve different meridians. It is believed that with the help of acupressure it is possible to influence and balance this flow of energy.

The paths are in fact meridians found on every part, organ or system of the body. Unfailing fluids and blood flow ensure continued balance. However, quite often stoppage of this flow occurs. Dire stoppages are quite sore, burning and very delicate. Lingering obstructions on the other hand are hard to detect.

Any interference with this life force causes ailments. Nonetheless, acupressure tends to stimulate natural healing of body when applied. It ensures a continuous flow of energy that improves the immune system. It also prompts the brain to release endorphin and improve flow of oxygen in the system. Endorphin is a natural analgesic that helps in relieving several disorders.

Several techniques are used in application of this therapy. These include use of thumbs, base of hands and fingers. Sometimes knees and elbows are also applied. A variety of methods are available such as pressing scrubbing, chaffing, kneading, rub rolling, pushing, rubbing, grasping, pushing and wiping. These methods are applied with light or deep force together with a gentle massage for effectiveness.

These techniques are used to check a variety of disorders. This includes asthma and acne control, chronic backaches and headaches, neck and joint pain, insomnia, heartburn among many others. Every part requires a different amount of force. If the stress applied is too intense, request the health care expert to reduce it.

For acute disorders such as headaches, bloating, constipation, joint and neck pains light pressure is used. The points are held firmly with a finger, slowly but steadily. Pressure is applied at right angles to the middle of the area worked on. This is stretched for a while to give the focal area time to respond or stimulate healing process.

Deep pressure helps in balance restoration and is applied in more tender and nodular organs. It is suitable to cure chronic conditions developed from fast life. Such a lifestyle usually leaves the body with pain and aches all over. At various degrees, you will feel the pulse in certain areas as the therapy works to relieve pain and circulation modified.

Two sections may be worked together at the same time in order to obtain optimal gains. Each hand works on a different part while the intervening section is left to gain full energy flow. After finding the points, it is possible to apply pressure on two sides of the body. In most instances, a few seconds are required at each point to initiate and obtain relief.

The objective of acupressure treatment is to normalize, balance and regulate body functions. This therapy is natural and easily accessible to everyone. It has the primary benefit of being readily available at home when complications arise. It is in fact a first aid technique for cleansing, relieving pain and healing bodily channels.
