Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that has been inherited from generation to generation for over three thousand years in China. It consists in locating particular areas of the body and stimulating these areas underneath the skin with a system of massages. This stimulation alters some processes and certain biochemical and physiological conditions that help you feel better.

In other words, Acupressure is a massage made in specific points located along the body with the purpose of alleviating a variety of symptoms and pains. Sounds too simple? It is, just read a bit more and see how it works its magic and what it can do for you.

Acupressure is usually used for treating pain in general, like headaches, back pain, arthritis, flu, asthma, nervous tension and sinusitis. It also works amazingly well for insomnia, nervousness and nausea.

Today we know that acupressure releases natural analgesics against pain like endorphins, and these work augmenting our sensation of wellness and blocking transmissions and signs of pain through the nerves. But well get into this in just a moment.

Have you heard of acupuncture? Dont worry just yet, I promise you wont be needing needles for this. This technique has its origin in the ancient China and is related with acupuncture. Even though Acupressure and acupuncture work with the same points in the body, in acupressure we use our fingers to apply pressure to eliminate symptoms instead of needles.

For this reason, many people refer to Acupressure as the needless acupuncture. This means you can get all the benefits of acupuncture, but only using your fingers.

You are energy; your body is energy. Theres a flow of energy that runs through your system. Its what gives you life, and this vital energy inside of you moves through invisible channels in the organism.

What Acupressure does is liberate these channels to prevent blockage, pain and disease.

You see, in Acupressure, as in all medicinal techniques that come from China, the body is considered as a small part of the universe, and its subject to its laws, harmony and balance principles. This is why they are based in ideas like the yin and yang

The yin is associated with cold, the feminine, descending energy, the inside, darkness and humidity. The yang can be described as heat, male, active, upwards energy, the outside, light and dryness. Now, the Qi is the vital energy found in foods, air, water, and sunlight. The Qi moves through the body in channels called meridians.

There are twelve great meridians in the body, and they correspond to the twelve main organs classified by Chinese medicine. When the Qi energy is not flowing properly, is because theres an unbalance in the organs, and this is when sickness appears in your body.

Chinese medicine doesn't distinguish among veins, arteries and nerves. It explains the functioning of the human body as a group of strengths that needs to be balanced in order to regulate all vital functions. Any health symptom implies theres an energy unbalance, so its necessary to complement the yin and yang with each other.

Acupressure points of treatment are found along the meridians , and when theres sickness your Qi, which travels through the meridians is debilitated.

When you interact with these points, you can reduce the pain located in the way of these meridians . There are thousands of points that can be located along the body, but dont worry you dont need to know them all! Well leave that for people that have a profound knowledge of this technique, and well focus only in the miracle points that will alleviate your headaches and migraine.
